Steak Knives

Laguiole steak knives: the original among steak knife sets

A genuine Laguiole steak knife is instantly recognisable: the slender curved handle, the forged bee on the bolster and a razor-sharp blade that glides through a côte de boeuf without tearing the meat. At Laguiole Du Monde you will find steak knife sets of 4 and 6 in stainless steel, warm wood and striking metallic finishes, so there is a set to match every table and every interior.

Which steak knife set suits your table?

The right choice starts with how you dine. Hosting larger dinners? Then a stainless steel set of 6 or the classic rosewood set of 6 is the practical choice. Prefer a design statement for two couples at the table? The exclusive sets of 4 in Black on Black, Copper on Black and Gold on Gold turn every steak dinner into an occasion.

• Stainless steel — sleek, timeless and the easiest to maintain
• Wooden handles — rosewood, olive wood or a mixed wood set where every knife is unique
• Metallic finishes — black, copper or gold stonewashed blades for a modern table setting

What makes a Laguiole steak knife special?

The Laguiole knife originates from the French village of the same name in the Aubrac region, where knife makers have been perfecting this design since the early nineteenth century. The hallmarks are the elegant, slightly curved silhouette, the decorated spine and the famous bee at the base of the blade — traditionally the sign of authentic craftsmanship. Our steak knives pair that heritage with modern stainless steel and a fine serration that stays sharp for years and cuts beef, lamb and game effortlessly.

Caring for your steak knives

Laguiole steak knives are made to last a lifetime with minimal care: rinse them by hand with warm water, dry them immediately and store them in the supplied box or a knife block. We advise against the dishwasher, especially for wooden handles — detergent dulls the finish and dries out the wood. Treat wooden handles with a drop of food-safe oil once or twice a year and they will only grow more beautiful.

Frequently asked questions

Should steak knives be serrated or smooth?

A fine serration, as on our Laguiole steak knives, keeps its edge for years without sharpening and cuts through crusty, seared meat with ease — the most practical choice for daily use at the table.

Is a set of 4 or a set of 6 the better choice?

A set of 6 is the safe choice for families and dinner parties; the design sets of 4 are perfect for smaller households or as an eye-catching gift.

Are Laguiole steak knives a good gift?

Absolutely — every set comes in an elegant gift box, making it a favourite for weddings, housewarmings and anyone who loves good food.
