This Laguiole horn steak knife set pairs six solid horn handles with polished stainless steel blades. Laguiole en Aubrac handcrafts it in the Laguiole region of France.
Solid horn has natural veining, so the handles shift between cream, grey and darker tones. Laid side by side, the set looks harmonious rather than uniform. Each handle carries the traditional shepherd's cross.
The knives have solid horn handles, polished stainless steel blades and shiny stainless steel bolsters. 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 gift box with a certificate of authenticity. They are handmade in Espalion, in the historic Laguiole region of France.
Horn is the most traditional Laguiole handle, and it suits formal and casual tables alike. You can give this set for a wedding, a housewarming or an anniversary.
