This 4-piece Laguiole butter and cheese knife set is made in the hundred-year-old French family business Jean Dubost. The materials used are of excellent quality. The blade is 1.2 mm thick, does not bend and is made of stainless steel. The handle is made of acrylic (PMMA), a strong plastic. The color will not wear off as it is applied throughout the handle.

The butter knives have a smoothly ground blade and cut well. These small spreading knives are not only used for butter, but also for tapenades, soft cheeses, pâté, etc. The cheese knives have two points at the end of the blade with which the cheese can be pricked. They are suitable for all types of hard and soft cheeses. In the better restaurants they are often used as an individual cheese knife with the intermediate dish “plateau de fromages”.

The set is entirely produced in France and comes with a Laguiole certificate of authenticity. The blades are suitable for the dishwasher.

Technical information handle:

PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) is a thermoplastic plastic better known as acrylic. This strong plastic can easily be modeled in all kinds of shapes when heated.

Technical information blade:

AISI 420 is a strong stainless steel type to which carbon has been added in addition to chromium. This steel is less easy to bend and is very suitable for making knives. With a heat treatment, this steel is extra hardened (HRC52/56), so that the cutting edge is damaged less quickly and stays sharp longer. It is also highly resistant to rust formation.

About Laguiole Jean Dubost

The Jean Dubost family business was founded in 1920. Today it is run by the 4th generation that combines the traditional way of making knives with modern industrial production techniques.

The Laguiole Jean Dubost range is entirely made in France. Apart from a few tropical woods, all parts, such as the steel and the handles, also come from France. In the factory, raw steel (AISI 420 standard with hardness HRC 52/56) is transformed into a razor-sharp, glossy polished blade in a process of 9 production stages. Every year, 1.5 million Laguiole steak knives are made, almost half of which are destined for export.

Unfortunately, there is also an imitation Laguiole that is mainly produced in China. Although often not immediately visible from the outside (the logo, the honey bee, is even copied), the material and workmanship is of considerably lower quality. Imitation is also easy to recognize. If the steel blade of the knife is not explicitly engraved with France, the knife was not produced in France and is therefore not authentic.
