Know before you buy
No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the natural handle materials and the sharpness of the blade, we recommend hand washing and drying them immediately after use.
Swedish Sandvik 12c27 steel is renowned for its high purity and fine grain structure. This allows the blades to maintain a razor-sharp edge while offering excellent corrosion resistance, making them ideal for high-end cutlery.
To keep the handles in top condition, avoid soaking them in water or exposing them to extreme heat. Periodically applying a food-safe mineral oil can help nourish wood handles and prevent them from drying out over time.
Because of the specific serrated design, these knives are best maintained by a professional knife sharpener. With proper care and by using them on appropriate surfaces like wood or plastic cutting boards, the blades will retain their edge for a significant amount of time.
Unlike mass-produced cutlery, each Laguiole en Aubrac knife is crafted from start to finish by one master bladesmith. This ensures a level of consistency, precision, and personal attention to detail that is reflected in the unique fit and finish of every piece.
While these knives are elegant enough for formal dining, their full-tang construction and durable steel make them robust enough for everyday use. They are designed to be functional tools that improve your daily dining experience.
