This Laguiole walnut cheese knife is the Le Buron model, with a curved walnut handle. Laguiole en Aubrac handcrafts it in France with a blade designed for cheese.
Walnut brings soft brown tones and a quiet, even grain. The handle curves up in a long, graceful line. It suits a dark wood board and a relaxed, grown-up table.
The handle is walnut wood. The blade is 12C27 Sandvik stainless steel, designed to cut cheese effortlessly. The knife rests neatly on a counter or board. The blade is 5.1 inches (13 cm), and the knife is 11.5 inches (29 cm) overall. Each piece is assembled from start to finish in one sequence by a single artisan. It comes in an oak wood box with a certificate of authenticity. It is made in the village of Espalion, in the historic Laguiole area of France.
Pair it with aged cheeses, walnuts and a glass of port. You could give it as a host gift that will outlast every bottle of wine.
