Know before you buy
No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the walnut wood handle and the sharpness of the blade, we recommend hand washing it with mild soap and drying it immediately.
The 12c27 Sandvik stainless steel blade is designed for versatility, making it effective for both soft, creamy cheeses and firmer, aged varieties. Its geometry allows for clean, effortless cuts without sticking.
To keep the walnut handle looking its best, avoid soaking it in water. Periodically applying a food-safe mineral oil or wood wax will help nourish the wood and prevent it from drying out over time.
Laguiole en Aubrac follows a traditional method where one master cutler oversees the entire assembly process from start to finish. This ensures a higher level of precision, consistency, and quality control compared to mass-produced cutlery.
The knife comes with an oak presentation box, which serves as an excellent storage solution to protect the blade from nicks and scratches when not in use. Keeping it in the box also helps protect the handle from environmental moisture.
