Each knife in this collection is entirely produced in France, including the expertly forged, high-quality stainless steel blade. The blade, smoothly ground to a 2.5 mm thickness with a hardness rating of 12C27 steel is highly valued for its durability and corrosion resistance. Composed of 12% chromium and 0.27% carbon, it achieves a Rockwell hardness of 56-58 HRC and provides a lasting, razor-sharp edge ideal for various cutting tools.

With its fine grain structure, 12C27 holds an edge exceptionally well, and its high chromium content ensures robust rust resistance, making it perfect for knives exposed to moisture. Produced through a meticulous process 12C27 steel is used in high-quality knives, surgical tools, and more.

This steel's unique balance of properties makes it a premium choice in demanding environments, from the kitchen to the outdoors.

The handle options are as refined as they are distinctive:

• European Oak Wood: A classic choice that exudes timeless elegance and durability.
• European Olive Wood: With its beautiful grain and warm tones, olive wood brings sophistication and unique patterns to each piece.
• Genuine Buffalo Horn: A rare and luxurious option, each buffalo horn handle is one-of-a-kind, showcasing the natural variations of this exotic material.

These two types of wood are sourced from Europe, ensuring both quality and sustainability, and every knife is marked with the original Laguiole honey bee emblem and engraved “Made in France” for authenticity. Each set is carefully packaged in a luxurious wooden storage box and comes with a certificate of authenticity—a mark of the dedication and skill poured into every piece. Because of the wooden handles, these knives are recommended for handwashing only to preserve their quality and appearance.
