Laguiole Style de Vie Luxury Line 6-piece, olive wood review

Six stainless steak knives with olive wood handles in a wooden case — the set bought for a table rather than for a kitchen drawer.

What we would actually buy Bought for the table rather than for the steel. Keep them out of the dishwasher and they will look like this for years.

What you are getting

Six stainless steak knives with olive wood handles and decorated metalwork, in a wooden presentation case.

The wood

Olive is dense, handsome, and different on every handle — no two grain patterns match, which is the reason to choose it. It is also the part that decides the care.

The name

“Laguiole” describes a style of knife rather than a protected origin. Knives carrying it are made in many places. That is not a criticism of these; it is a fact worth knowing before paying for the word.

The care

Hand wash and dry. A dishwasher cycle will split olive wood and loosen it from the tang, and there is no way back from that.

Availability

On sale at around $80 on the American Amazon store at the time of checking.

What we rate, and what we do not

Strengths

  • Olive wood handles, each one different, which is the point of them
  • Six knives in a presentation case — a genuine gift
  • Straight edge, which cuts rather than saws

Compromises

  • Wooden handles must not go in the dishwasher, and the listing does not say so
  • No steel grade or hardness
  • "Laguiole" is not a protected designation — it describes a style, not an origin

The questions that come in

Does "Laguiole" mean made in Laguiole?

No. The name is not protected and describes a style of knife rather than an origin. Makers across Europe and beyond use it, which is worth knowing before paying for the association.

Can olive wood handles go in the dishwasher?

No. Repeated wetting and drying splits the wood and loosens it around the rivets. Hand wash, dry, and they will outlast several dishwasher-safe sets.

Our score

8.1/ 10
