Know before you buy
No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the natural African Zebu Horn handles and the sharpness of the forged blades, we recommend hand washing and drying them immediately after use.
Zebu horn is a natural material, meaning each handle features unique color variations, textures, and patterns. Because these are handcrafted from organic material, no two knives in your set will look exactly the same.
Yes, the set includes a high-quality wooden gift box. This provides a secure and elegant way to store the knives when they are not in use, protecting the blades and handles from damage.
By having one artisan craft each individual knife from start to finish, the set achieves a level of consistency and attention to detail that mass-produced cutlery cannot match. This traditional Laguiole method ensures that every component, from the forged spring to the hand-carved bee, meets rigorous quality standards.
Natural horn can dry out if exposed to extreme conditions. To keep the handles in top condition, you can occasionally apply a small amount of food-safe mineral oil to nourish the material and maintain its luster.
These steak knives feature a plain edge. This design allows for a clean, precise cut through meat without tearing the fibers, which is a hallmark of high-end, forged cutlery.
