The Laguiole en Aubrac Monobloc steak knife set is comprised of six steak knives with a minimalistic and sleek design. The handle and blade are both made from stainless steel with a matt finish. Because the knives are completely made from steel they are relatively heavy. Each knife weighs approx. 150 grams. As such the knives feel massive and solid in hand. These minimalistic steak knives of this authentic Laguiole brand will enrich any dinner table!
The blade is made from stainless 12c27 Sandvik steel. A type of steel with a relatively high carbon content making the knife razor-sharp and rock-solid. However, it is not a type of steel that is prone to rust or end up with ugly spots. In addition, you can also easily sharpen it yourself, if, after some time, the knife has lost some of its sharpness. Because of the smooth edge, the knife will cut through the meat gradually. This is in contrast with a serrated edge which pulls the fibres apart. Using a smooth-edged knife keeps the meat juicy and tender.
The handle is also made from stainless steel. The spine is enhanced with a minimalistic version of the characteristic Laguiole bee. The handle is broad in the front and thin in the back. This not only looks great, it also ensures that the weight of the handle is nicely located in the middle. As such the knife is perfectly balanced and feels great in hand. Because the knives are completely made from stainless steel they are dishwasher proof. We do not recommend it, however. In time the dishwasher will affect the appearance of the knives.
