Technical information handle:

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.

Difference between Classic, Exclusive and Premium version

There are three variants, each with their own purpose. They differ mainly in steel thickness and design of the blade.

Classic The 'classic' steak knife from Laguiole is the best-known variant, you see them in almost every French bistro. It is a robust but simply designed steak knife with a serrated blade of 1.2 mm thick that you never have to sharpen. Ease of use is the priority here, but not everyone likes a serrated blade because it cuts through the meat in a somewhat rough way. The set is packaged in a wooden knife block.

Exclusive The 'exclusive' series has been developed for enthusiasts who prefer a smoothly ground blade. These razor-sharp steak knives fit comfortably in your hand and cut effortlessly through all types of meat. The blade is slightly heavier with a thickness of 1.5 mm and hardly ever needs to be sharpened if used carefully. The 6-piece set is packaged in a beautifully designed, lockable cutlery box.

Premium If you go for luxury and top quality, choose the 'premium' variant, the flagship among steak knives. These knives also have a smoothly ground blade, but with a steel thickness of 2.5 mm. The beautifully balanced knife cuts like the best. This is the knife for home chefs and culinary enthusiasts! The 6-piece set is packaged in a beautifully designed, lockable cutlery box.

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.
