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 highly aromatic Juniper Wood (Genevrier), a favorite among connoisseurs for its unique peppery fragrance that lasts for years. This European timber is celebrated for its warm, rustic aesthetic, featuring a beautiful contrast between light sapwood and dark, swirling heartwood with small, natural knots. Its natural oils provide a resilient texture and a weight that feels perfectly balanced in the hand. Each handle is a unique piece of nature, offering a sensory experience that perfectly complements a fine meal.
Crafted with a flawless, mirror-polished finish, these forks offer radiant brilliance that commands attention on any table. This high-gloss stainless steel provides a luxurious, reflective appearance that highlights the iconic Laguiole curves, offering a timeless look of prestige and quality.
These Forge de Laguiole steak knives are manufactured in the village of Laguiole and feature the iconic bumblebee and the traditional shepherd's cross on most models. Forge de Laguiole represents the pinnacle of quality in the Laguiole cutlery business. Their reputation for integrity, ethics, and innovative designs has made this small 100-employee company the "Must Have" Laguiole luxury brand ↗.
The Forge de Laguiole workshop is located in the tiny village of Laguiole, France - Pop. 1300 - where the famous style of pocket knives first appeared in the early 1800s.
