This Laguiole antler steak knife set has six knives with deer antler handles and polished steel bolsters. Laguiole en Aubrac handcrafts the set in France.
Antler has a textured, organic surface with ivory and brown tones. Each handle has its own shape and character. It brings a lodge-like warmth to the table, especially in autumn and winter.
The knives have deer antler handles, shiny stainless steel blades and polished bolsters. The shepherd's cross is set into each antler handle. Because of the material, tones vary from ivory to pure white, and each handle may vary in thickness. The blades are 12C27 Sandvik stainless steel, which the maker says avoids corrosion. Each blade is 4.25 inches (11 cm) long, and each knife measures 9 inches (23 cm) overall. The set comes in a wooden presentation box with a certificate of authenticity. They are made in the village of Espalion, in the historic Laguiole area of France.
This is the set for game dinners, holiday roasts and cabin tables. You would give it to someone who wants a steak knife with real presence.
