Know before you buy
No, we recommend hand washing this set. The natural ebony wood handles can be damaged by the high heat and harsh detergents found in dishwashers, which may cause the wood to crack or lose its finish over time.
To keep the wood in top condition, occasionally apply a small amount of food-safe mineral oil to the handles. This prevents the ebony from drying out and helps maintain its deep, natural luster.
The bumblebee is the iconic hallmark of authentic Laguiole cutlery. It serves as a symbol of the traditional craftsmanship and heritage associated with the village of Laguiole in France.
Yes, the set is designed with a balanced, ergonomic curve that provides excellent leverage for carving larger cuts of meat. The sharpness of the blade combined with the heft of the handle makes it highly effective for precision slicing.
This set is typically presented in a gift box suitable for storage. We recommend keeping the pieces in their original box or a dedicated cutlery roll to protect the blades and the polished finish when not in use.
