Say goodbye to drab, black steak knives, and say hello to this elegant ivory set! The Laguiole knife is a traditional Occitan pocket-knife, originally produced in the “knife-city” of Thiers, France. The Laguiole knife still carries the mark of its ancestors – a bee, which was originally part of Napoleon Bonaparte’s imperial seal. These blades are made of high-grade stainless steel, stamped, ground, and then polished in over 25 different manual production stages. Add elegance and history to your next meal!
