The butter knife can also be used for soft goat and herb cheeses. These cheese knives naturally also have the honeybee emblem. The stylish and solid knives fit very well in the hand.

Technical information handle:

PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) is a thermoplastic plastic better known under the name acrylate. This strong plastic can easily be molded into all kinds of shapes when heated.

Technical information blade:

AISI 420 is a strong stainless steel type to which carbon has been added in addition to chrome. 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 surface is damaged less quickly and remains sharp longer. It is also highly resistant to corrosion.

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.

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.
