Technical information handle:

The inner core of the handle is made of a strong, durable plastic (ABS). The casing of the handle is made of stainless steel.

Technical information blade:

AISI 430 is a stainless type of steel to which chromium has been added. This type of steel is often used for cutlery because it forms well (spoons and forks), has a strong glossy layer and does not rust quickly.

AISI 420 is a stronger type of 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. 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.

HRC52/56 is the standard by which the hardness of the steel is indicated. This type of steel will not break easily and is less susceptible to rusting.

About Laguiole Jean Dubost

The Jean Dubost family business was founded in 1920. Today it is run by the 4th generation who combine 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.

Original or counterfeit?

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.
