This set of two forged Laguiole table knives with snakewood handles by Fontenille Pataud combines the distinctive character of a wood from French Guiana with the precision of a forged blade and the excellence of French artisanal cutlery.
Entirely handcrafted in Thiers, the historic heart of French cutlery, these two Laguiole table knives with snakewood handles reflect expertise passed down through generations. Their iconic silhouette and meticulous finish make them exceptional pieces created to accompany the most refined dining occasions.
Native to French Guiana, snakewood is distinguished by its warm tones and naturally speckled pattern. Each handle displays its own individual variations, giving every knife a unique visual identity. Measuring 7 mm thick, the carefully contoured handle provides a comfortable and balanced grip.
Forged from a single piece of Z40C13 stainless steel, each knife offers a strong construction and precise cutting performance. Traditional sharpening promotes a long-lasting edge, while the decorated spine reflects the meticulous attention devoted to every detail by the artisans of Fontenille Pataud.
The traditional shepherd’s cross, delicately inlaid into the handle, honours the heritage associated with the Laguiole knife. The matte finish subtly enhances the natural pattern of the snakewood and lends the set an authentic elegance that is both warm and timeless.
Presented in a French-made varnished wooden box, this set makes a remarkable gift for admirers of fine dining and artisanal cutlery. Designed to be enjoyed for years to come, the knives are covered by a lifetime warranty under normal conditions of use.
