This Laguiole forged bread knife has a full tang 8 inch blade and a triple rivet olive wood handle. Laguiole en Aubrac handcrafts it in the village of Espalion.
It has a traditional kitchen knife shape with three visible rivets, unlike the curved Laguiole table knives. Olive wood brings warmth to a very practical tool. The serrated edge is long and even.
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.
This is a workhorse bread knife for a busy kitchen. You get a forged, full tang build at an accessible price.
