Designed by the late, iconic French designer Andrée Putman, this set of six steak knives offers a striking, contemporary reimagining of the classic Laguiole silhouette. Perfect for modern tablescapes, this collection seamlessly bridges the gap between minimalist design and historic French craftsmanship.
A Modern Take on a Classic: Moving away from the traditional curved Laguiole profile, Putman’s vision introduces clean, straight lines and a perfectly balanced, sleek shape. The traditional Laguiole bee—the historic signature of the region's cutlery—has been thoughtfully redesigned into a stylized, modern geometric form that complements the knife's contemporary aesthetic.
High-Performance Densified Ash: The handles are crafted from densified ash wood. Using a specialized process of intense heat and mechanical pressure, the natural ash is compressed to seal its pores. The result is a handle that retains the authentic, organic beauty of natural wood grain while offering exceptional durability and high water resistance for stress-free maintenance.
Exceptional Cutting Edge: Handcrafted from Forge de Laguiole's premium French stainless steel, the satin-finished blades provide a flawless, razor-sharp edge. This ensures a clean, effortless cut that glides through meats, preserving the natural juices and flavors without tearing.
Authentic Laguiole Heritage: While the design is modern, the manufacturing remains strictly traditional. Every single knife in this set is meticulously handcrafted by master knifemakers in the historic village of Laguiole, France, ensuring the legendary quality that Forge de Laguiole is known for worldwide.
