Technical information blade:

AISI 430 is a type of stainless steel to which chromium has been added. This type of steel is often used for cutlery because it is easy to shape (spoons and forks), has a strong glossy finish, and does not rust easily.

AISI 420 is a strong stainless steel alloy to which carbon has been added alongside chromium. This steel is less easily bent and is highly suitable for making knives. Through heat treatment, this steel is further hardened (HRC52/56), meaning the cutting edge is less prone to damage and remains sharp longer. Additionally, it is highly resistant to rust formation.

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

Food safety:

This product is manufactured in France and meets the highest European safety requirements.

About Laguiole Jean Dubost

The Jean Dubost family business was founded in 1920. Today, it is run by the 4th generation, which combines traditional knife-making methods with modern industrial production techniques.

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

Unfortunately, there is also imitation Laguiole that is primarily produced in China. Although often not immediately visible on the outside (the logo, the honeybee, is even copied), the material and workmanship are of significantly lower quality. Incidentally, imitation is easy to recognize. If "France" is not explicitly engraved on the steel blade of the knife, the knife was not produced in France and is therefore not authentic.
