Jean Dubost Laguiole Carving Set Black #25555

• Two steel grades, matched to function: The knife uses AISI 420 stainless steel, a higher-carbon alloy that takes and holds a sharper edge, while the fork uses AISI 430 stainless steel for rigidity and corrosion resistance.
• Acrylic handles molded over a full metal spine: The black acrylic sits over a continuous steel backbone running the length of the handle rather than just at the bolster, which prevents the handle from loosening or cracking over time.
• Polished stainless steel bolsters and end cap with the classic Laguiole bee detail visible at the shoulder of each piece.
• Dishwasher safe — no hand-wash-only caveats.
• Natural wood display box included: Each piece nests in a fitted pine box that doubles as presentation packaging — no additional gift wrapping needed.
• Each piece is handmade in France by Jean Dubost, one of the established Laguiole makers in Thiers.
• Set measures approximately 11½ inches in total length — sized for a full roast or whole bird rather than just steaks.

What These Specs Mean

• AISI 430 Stainless-Steel (Fork): A ferritic stainless steel grade known for corrosion resistance and durability, commonly used in flatware that sees regular dishwasher use.
• AISI 420 Stainless-Steel (Knife): A hardenable martensitic stainless steel grade used for knife blades because it can be ground to a sharp edge and hold it through repeated carving.

What exactly is included in the Laguiole Carving Set Black?

A: The set includes two pieces — a carving knife and a carving fork. Both feature black acrylic handles over a polished stainless steel spine and arrive together in a wood storage box, so the set is ready to give or display from the moment it arrives.

Is this carving set actually dishwasher safe?

A: Yes, the set is dishwasher safe. The knife blade is AISI 420 stainless steel and the fork is AISI 430 stainless steel — both grades chosen for corrosion resistance — and the black acrylic handles are durable enough for routine machine washing without warping or fading.

Is this carving set really handmade in France?

A: Yes. The set is handmade in France by Jean Dubost, one of the most established names in Laguiole-style cutlery. Each piece is individually assembled with the acrylic handles fitted over the full metal spine, which is what distinguishes a hand-finished piece from factory-stamped alternatives.

Does it come packaged in a way that works as a gift?

A: The set ships in a wood presentation box that holds both pieces in fitted slots — no additional gift wrapping needed. It works well as a housewarming or wedding gift and doubles as everyday storage when the set is in use at home.

How large are the carving knife and fork?

A: The set measures 11½ inches in length, which puts it in the full-size carving range — long enough for a roast or whole bird but balanced enough for controlled slicing. Total set weight is 1 lb, giving each piece a substantial feel without being fatiguing during use.
