In the area of Aubrac in southern France, you will find the small village of Laguiole, which has become world-renowned for its knives with the characteristic profile on the blade, which has become the symbol of what a good steak knife is.
At Laguiole en Aubrac, some of the absolute best of its kind are produced. It is important to understand that there are many different producers, while only a few of them are actually located in Laguiole. This is about good old-fashioned manual work and good craftsmanship. A knife - or any other piece of cutlery - from Laguiole en Aubrac is handmade. A lot of different natural materials are used for the handles, such as different horns, antlers and of course woods from all over the world.
The knife here is polished, and the handle is made of amboina. The cut of the wood itself is a piece of knot, which means that the grain patterns appear more lively than in normal heartwood.
