Jean-Michel Wilmotte has given the legendary French knife maker, Laguiole, a fashionable, multicolour look - and the French architect and star designer has been heaped with praise for his achievement. His masterpieces won the International Knife Award as the "Gourmet Knife of the Year" at the International Trade Fair IWA 2005.
The steak knives are produced in the workshops of the Forge de Laguiole. In accordance with the tradition of the company, which goes back over 175 years, each knife is handmade by one single craftsman from start to finish. This uniqueness is also to be seen in the incomparable flexibility of the non-rust, easy-to-sharpen blade which is first forged and then hardened with T12 stainless steel.
The multi-colour standard set contains the six vivid colours (red, pink, lilac, blue, green, yellow - as pictured).
Product features:
- 6 Steak knives in vivid colours
- Total length of knife: 23cm
- Polished stainless steel blade - Length of the blades: 11,5 cm,
- Acrylic glass handles (Dacryl ®),
- NOT suitable for the dishwasher.

About the Designer
From architecture to Laguiole knife... After graduating from Camondo School of Design, Jean-Michel Wilmotte founded the Wilmotte & Associés agency in Paris. During his illustrious career he created, decorated and designed numerous famous and prestigious buildings around the world, from museums to universities to airports, to mention a few. Jean-Michel Wilmotte created one of the most iconic Forge de Laguiole Signature collection: an explosive line of decorative knives, with handles in multi-coloured acrylic glass.
About the Brand
FORGE DE LAGUIOLE is the Laguiole knife manufactory, which produces its knives entirely in the French village of Laguiole according to a tradition dating back to 1828.
The term Laguiole refers to both a provenance and the style of a knife. They have their origin in the village of Laguiole – France, on a high plateau of volcanic and granitic rock, wild and proud, where the formidable history of these knives was born in 1828.
Every original Forge de Laguiole ® knife is stamped with their logo and every masterpiece bears the trace of the Master-Knifesmith that made it. The quality is an expression of the strength and beauty of our breath-taking environment.
The Laguiole knife has now become a cult object, a design reference synonymous with art de vivre and French gastronomy.
