Customize your knife's blade and spring

You can choose the steel for your Laguiole knife :

• Generally our Laguiole knives have a Sandvik stainless steel blade (reference number 12C27) which is currently the best one. For the same price you can also ask for the traditional carbon steel blade which has the characteristic of becoming oxidized.
• You can also ask for personalized engravings on the blade or the spring (name, firstname, initials).
