Please help me find a literal blue cheese knife (if it exists!)

My mother has a thing about using a separate knife for blue cheese so your cheddar etc doesn't take up the culture and go mouldy. It is her birthday in mid Feb so my hunt for a special knife has got to be swift!

She wrote to Waitrose Head Office in 1998 with a mild complaint and believes that this was the reason that they introduced separate blue cheese wire cutting boards on their deli counters. (I think that maybe her local branch just wasn't bothering with one)

Every time we eat cheese at my parents, half the meal is punctuated with 'now, is that the right knife? here, have this one. Oh, can't be sure, let's get a clean one for the Wensleydale' and so on. It is not really annoying, just a bit comical and endearing.

I want to get her a novelty knife with a wedge of blue cheese as the handle. Or printed with the word 'blue', or a proper cheese knife set with colour coded handles.

I may stretch to commissioning something from etsy - any recommendations would be fab.

I realise that a 'literally blue cheese knife' is possibly vair vair mumsnet but am happy to be mocked!

Thanks to both of you!

I like Deedee's second link and there is one called adelphi (I think) in the house of cheese link which has a blue handle.

I confess I was thinking a bit more along sort of 'novelty' lines. Will consider carefully...!
