This Laguiole forged bread knife pairs a full tang 8 inch blade with a black ebony handle and three rivets. Laguiole en Aubrac handcrafts it in the village of Espalion.
The ebony is near black and polished, so the steel rivets stand out clearly. The shape is a classic kitchen knife rather than a curved table knife. It looks crisp against white marble or pale wood.
The knife is full tang and forged with its bolster from a single blade of 12C27 Sandvik stainless steel. The contoured handle is designed for secure handling and control, reducing fatigue during longer use. The blade is 8 inches (20 cm) long and 1 inch (2.5 cm) high. The handle is 4.8 inches (12 cm), and the knife is 12.8 inches (32 cm) overall. It carries a limited lifetime warranty.
Choose it for a modern kitchen or as a practical wedding registry gift. You will use it every day, not just at weekends.
