The Laguiole knife has been used in the south of France for over 200 years. Inspired by the traditional peasant tool, the Jean Dubost family has been crafting these artisan blades since 1920. The engraved bee on all Laguiole products was originally part of Napoleon Bonaparte’s imperial seal. The blades are made of high-grade stainless steel, are stamped, then ground and polished in over 25 different manual production stages. They are rust resistant, and will last a lifetime. This handsome set of steak knives will add style to your table with their attractive gray handles. Each knife has a sharpened blade and a gauge of 1.2 mm.
