Fontenille Pataud's Laguiole steak knives are crafted to perfection, representing the pinnacle of European blade-making. These knives are unique among Laguiole table cutlery, as each is manufactured from a single cold-forged metal rod of high-grade Z40C13 stainless steel. This specialized "monoblock" construction ensures exceptional durability and a seamless, weighted feel that speaks to the highest level of artistry.
Handle Character: This set of two steak knives features handles crafted from genuine Fossilized Mammoth Tusk. Sourced from the Siberian tundra, this extraordinary material dates back over 10,000 years. It is prized for its remarkable density and a unique, ancient patina that ranges from creamy ivories to earthy tans and subtle blue-grey mineral streaks. Because it is a fossilized organic material, the grain and color distribution are entirely unique to each piece, making these handles true artifacts of natural history.
Expertly detailed with traditional hand-filed designs (ciselage) along the spring, every knife is crafted entirely by a single master craftsman in Thiers—Europe's historic cutlery capital. This "one artisan, one knife" process delivers a unique product that offers a feast for both the eyes and the senses.
