The Laguiole brand is traditionally known for its steak knives. Nowadays there are numerous other items available such as this olive wood carving set. The set consists of a razor-sharp carving knife and a carving fork and of course also has the honeybee emblem. They fit very well in the hand and have a steel thickness of 2.5 mm. The handle is made of real olive wood. The stainless steel blade of the carving knife has a smooth grind and is excellent for cutting tenderloin, Chateaubriand, roulade, leg of lamb and turkey. The set is fully produced in France and packaged in a luxurious and handy storage box made of wood and provided with a certificate of authenticity. Due to the wooden handles, the carving set can only be washed by hand. The ideal gift for home cooks and culinary enthusiasts!

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.
