Know before you buy
The tip is the densest, hardest part of the African Zebu horn, offering superior durability and a more substantial feel in the hand compared to other sections of the horn. Because it is a natural material, you can expect unique color and grain patterns that make your specific set one-of-a-kind.
No. Due to the natural horn handles and the high-quality stainless steel blades, this set should be hand-washed and dried immediately to maintain the integrity of the material and prevent the horn from drying out or cracking.
This is an XL set, featuring a 13.5-inch knife and a 10.5-inch fork. It is designed specifically for larger roasts, turkeys, and substantial cuts of meat that require extra reach and leverage.
Every set is handmade in the village of Laguiole, France, and arrives with an official Certificate of Authenticity. This document confirms the origin and the traditional craftsmanship behind your specific piece.
At 8 ounces, the knife has a balanced, weighted feel that helps it glide through meat with minimal effort. The heft is intentional, providing stability and control during precise carving tasks.
