Sabatier 6-pc. Laguiole Steak Knife Set

Laguiole (pronounced "lie-yole"), a small French mountain town about 350 miles south of Paris, is famous for its cattle, cheese and cutlery. The original Laguiole knife was made by iron smiths in 1829 as a farmer's tool. One legend about the knife's origin claims that a village innkeeper's son invented the knife's folding mechanism that later replaced the capuchadou, a little folding dagger that herdsmen carried in their pockets or wore on their belts. This tool was later refined and became a defining part of the Laguiole steak knife that is used in many French restaurants today. This set of Steak Knives is made with as much care and dedication as those made a century ago. Made of stainless steel, the knives come in a box for storing.
