Technical information handle:

Stainless steel handle with plastic (PMMA) inner core. PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) is a thermoplastic plastic better known as acrylic. This strong plastic can easily be molded into all kinds of shapes when heated.

Technical information blade:

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

HRC52/56 is the standard that indicates the hardness of the steel. This type of steel will not break easily and is less susceptible to rust formation.

About Laguiole Jean Dubost

The Jean Dubost family business was founded in 1920. Nowadays it is led by the 4th generation who combines the traditional method of knife making with modern industrial production techniques.

The Laguiole Jean Dubost range is made entirely in France. With the exception of a few tropical types of wood, 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, highly polished blade in a process of 9 production phases. 1.5 million Laguiole steak knives are made every year, almost half of which are intended 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 honeybee, is even copied), the material and manufacturing is of significantly lower quality. Imitation is 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.
