LAGUIOLE Jean Dubost pocket knives – The epitome of French craftsmanship

Crafted by the century-old French family business Jean Dubost, these LAGUIOLE folding knives are a true testament to tradition, quality, and French heritage. Every detail has been carefully designed to meet the needs of culinary enthusiasts and chefs, making these knives the ideal gift for those who appreciate the art of fine dining.

Each knife in this collection is entirely crafted in France, including the expertly forged, high-quality stainless steel blade. Smoothly ground to a thickness of 2.5 mm with a hardness rating of 12C27 steel, the blade is highly prized for its durability and corrosion resistance. Composed of 12% chromium and 0.27% carbon, it achieves a Rockwell hardness of 56-58 HRC and provides a durable, razor-sharp edge ideal for a variety of cutting tools. The high chromium content provides robust rust resistance, making it perfect for knives exposed to moisture. 12C27 steel is produced through a precise process and is used in high-quality knives, surgical instruments, and more.

The unique balance of properties of this steel makes it a premium choice in demanding environments, from the kitchen to outdoors.

The handle options are as refined as they are distinctive:

• European oak : a classic choice that exudes timeless elegance and durability.
• European Olive Wood : With its beautiful grain and warm tones, olive wood brings refinement and unique patterns to every piece.
• Genuine Buffalo Horn : A rare and luxurious option, each buffalo horn handle is one of a kind and showcases the natural variations of this exotic material.

These two types of wood are sourced from Europe, guaranteeing both quality and durability. Each knife is marked with the original Laguiole honeybee emblem and engraved with "Made in France" for authenticity. The pocket knife comes with a certificate of authenticity, a sign of dedication and craftsmanship.
