How to choose the cutlery that suits you?
The perfect cutlery is the one that matches your lifestyle. The Héritage collection allows you to compose the ideal set according to your tastes and habits.
First, the handle: what atmosphere for your table?
The handle material defines the character of your cutlery. Do you prefer the warmth of wood, the brilliance of modern, or functional sobriety? This table helps you choose.
| Handle material | Its strengths | Its style |
|---|---|---|
| ABS | Excellent shock resistance, very easy to clean, durable. | Modern, smooth, ideal for intense daily use. |
| Wood (Olive, etc.) | Noble and natural appearance, each piece is unique. | Authentic, warm, and very elegant. |
| POM | High resistance to water and temperature variations. | Functional, sober, and extremely robust. |
| Stainless Steel | Hygienic, very durable, sleek and minimalist design. | Contemporary, professional, and indestructible. |
Then, the blade: what is your use?
All our knives feature quality stainless steel blades, but their profile varies:
- Smooth blade: Perfect for everyday table knives, it offers a clean and precise cut for most foods.
- Micro-serrated blade: This is the signature of steak knives. It slices through meats, even the most seared, without ever tearing them. Extremely effective.
Why choose a complete cutlery set?
Choosing a cutlery set means choosing serenity and harmony. Our 16 or 24-piece sets are designed to simplify your life and beautify your table.
- Perfect coherence: No more mixed styles. All your cutlery is matched for an impeccable visual result.
- Everything you need at hand: Our sets contain everything you need for 4 or 6 guests. You are ready.
- The ideal gift: Presented in its box, a Laguiole Héritage cutlery set is a gift that is as beautiful as it is useful, making a lasting impression.
How to care for your cutlery to preserve its shine?
Good maintenance is the secret to making your cutlery last. It's very simple:
- Washing: Hand washing is best for wood. For all wooden handles, hand washing is imperative. For ABS, POM, and stainless steel, dishwashing is possible (check the product sheet), but hand washing will always better preserve the shine in the long term.
- Drying: The small step that changes everything. Wipe your cutlery with a soft cloth immediately after washing to avoid water marks and make the stainless steel shine.
- Storage: Protect your knives from impacts by storing them in a block, a box, or a drawer with dividers.
Your questions, our answers about Laguiole Héritage
Is it "real" Laguiole?
Our "Laguiole Héritage" collection is a creation of Tarrerias-Bonjean, a leading French cutler based in Thiers. This is your guarantee to buy a quality product, with a faithful design, manufactured by a recognized expert.
Do steak knives really cut well?
Yes, that's their specialty. The stainless steel blade is hardened. It has micro-serrations that allow it to easily cut all types of meat. This is done effortlessly and without damaging the fibers.
Which handle should I choose for intensive daily use?
For daily use and frequent dishwasher cycles, we recommend ABS, POM, or stainless steel handles. They are designed to withstand and maintain their appearance for a long time.
