The Jean Dubost brand is traditionally known as a producer of Laguiole steak knives. Nowadays, there are many other items available, such as this French kitchen knife set made of oak. These are timeless models, the production of which began in 1920. They were so popular that almost nothing has changed in the model and the materials used since then.

Technical information blade:

AISI 420 is a strong stainless steel to which carbon has been added in addition to chromium. This steel is less easy to bend and is very suitable for making knives. With a heat treatment, this steel is extra hardened (HRC52/56) so that the cutting edge is less likely to be damaged and stays sharp for longer. It is also highly resistant to rust formation.

HRC52/56 is the standard used to indicate the hardness of steel. This type of steel will not break easily and is less susceptible to rust formation.

About Laguiole Jean Dubost

The family business Jean Dubost was founded in 1920. Today it is run by the 4th generation who combine the traditional way of making knives with modern industrial production techniques.

The Laguiole Jean Dubost range is made entirely in France. With the exception of a few tropical woods, all components, such as the steel and handles, also come from France. In the factory, raw steel (AISI 420 standard with hardness HRC 52/56) is transformed into a razor-sharp, shiny polished blade in a process of 9 production phases. 1.5 million Laguiole steak knives are made annually, almost half of which are intended for export.
