The Original Forge de Laguiole steak knives are used by the greatest Chefs worldwide, including those at dozens of Michelin-Starred restaurants. High-end steak knives are never serrated; one should not feel the need to "saw" a steak.
The handles are crafted from Juniper Wood (Genevrier), a favorite among Laguiole enthusiasts. Juniper is a wild, hardy wood known for its incredible pepper-like fragrance, which it naturally retains for years. Aesthetically, it is highly sought after for its distinctive grain, characterized by swirling light ochre and warm tan tones, often punctuated by dark knots or "eyes." Because it is a natural organic material, each handle has a unique grain and depth of color, ensuring your set is truly one-of-a-kind.
With their iconic Laguiole curved design, these knives are elegant and ergonomic. They combine heft with unsurpassed sharpness, making cutting a breeze!
Crafted for those who prefer a more understated aesthetic, these knives offer a brushed satin finish. This matte look provides a contemporary, discreet alternative to high-polish steel, offering a unique texture and character that seamlessly blends with any modern table décor. These steak knives are also available in a sophisticated, shiny finish.
