Laguiole Forged Steak Knives Genuine Timepiece Gears Inlay

Fontenille Pataud's Laguiole steak knives are crafted to perfection, representing the pinnacle of European blade-making. These knives are unique among Laguiole table cutlery, as each is manufactured from a single cold-forged metal rod of high-grade Z40C13 stainless steel. This specialized "monoblock" construction ensures exceptional durability and a seamless, weighted feel that speaks to the highest level of artistry.

Handle Character: This extraordinary set features handles with a Genuine Timepiece Gears Inlay. Suspended within high-grade, crystal-clear resin, an intricate arrangement of vintage mechanical watch components—including brass cogs, wheels, and escapements—is meticulously hand-placed. This "Steampunk" inspired design offers a fascinating glimpse into mechanical history while providing a smooth, durable grip. Because each inlay uses unique vintage parts, no two knives are ever identical.

Expertly detailed with traditional hand-filed designs (ciselage) along the spring, every knife is crafted entirely by a single master craftsman in Thiers—Europe's historic cutlery capital. This "one artisan, one knife" process delivers a unique product that offers a feast for both the eyes and the senses.
