The Fontenille Pataud set of two Laguiole walnut table knives combines the deep tones of first-choice wood with the precision of forged steel and the excellence of French cutlery craftsmanship.
Entirely handcrafted in Thiers, the historic heart of French cutlery making, this set of two Laguiole walnut table knives brings authentic elegance to everyday dining and the most refined occasions alike. Every knife is conceived as a durable, balanced and comfortable object.
The contoured handles are crafted from first-choice walnut with a thickness of 7 mm. Their rich brown tones and natural grain give every knife its own distinctive appearance. The wood also develops a beautiful patina over time, adding an increasingly personal character to the set.
An inlaid traditional shepherd’s cross completes the walnut handle with an emblematic detail from the Laguiole tradition. Its generously contoured shape rests comfortably in the hand and contributes to the knife’s balance throughout the meal.
Each knife is forged from a single piece of Z40C13 stainless steel to provide strength, precision and longevity. The decorated spine highlights the artisanal work performed in the Fontenille Pataud workshops, while traditional sharpening provides a precise and durable cutting edge.
Presented in a French-made lacquered wooden case, this set is a refined choice for entertaining, enriching a collection or offering a lasting gift. It combines the warmth of walnut, the timeless lines of Laguiole design and the quality of French craftsmanship made to be passed down through generations.
