The Laguiole knife has been used in the south of France for over 200 years. Jean Dubost’s family, inspired by the traditional peasant tool, has been crafting the artisan blades since 1920. Surrounded by legend and myth, the Laguiole knife still carries the mark of its ancestors. A bee that is found engraved on all Laguiole products, was originally part of Napoleon Bonaparte’s imperial seal. Local legend states it was bestowed upon the Laguiole village as a token of Napoleon’s gratitude for the townspeople’s courage during his many battles. Others insist that the bee represents the knife’s reliability. The blade, made of high-grade stainless steel, is stamped, then ground and then polished in over 25 different manual production stages. Soft and subtle to the touch, a Laguiole knife will stay sharp and will never rust. Recently, the Laguiole mark has expanded to include flatware, wine waiters and cutlery crafted with the same quality and craftsmanship. Trusted and revered in kitchens and restaurants through-out France, the Dubost family is happy for the Laguiole tradition to finally reach this side of the Atlantic.

Bougie Butter knives to match your other bougie cutleryIf you’re looking for butter knives that match other Laguiole cutlery sets, then this is the one to buy. Buttering bread with a steak knife feels so unrefined. These knives have a rounded edge and match the overall look and feel over other steel laguiole cutlery.

Classic and beautiful.Classic laguiole design. Sturdy. The Jean Dubost spreaders look expensive, function well, and clean up easily. More attractive than similar spreaders I own by Sabatier.

which didn’t look very nice..These spreaders are high quality and very classy. Giving 4 stars because they are not boxed well—I bought this as a gift and the spreaders were all crooked in the box, which didn’t look very nice…but the spreaders themselves are great!! Have to hand dry or they water spot!

These are very nice and meet my expectationsThese are very nice and meet my expectations. They do a wonderful job of well…spreading. They are a bit smaller then anticipated so someone with very large hands might find them difficult to use. Love the look of these and they go along with the rest of my knife set. They also came with a certificate of authenticity.

Great for eating on small platesThese are great for eating on small desert sized plates where a full size knife will constantly fall off the plate when you put it down. Very sharp, cuts thru potato skins and steaks very easily. I put them in the dishwasher with no problem. Jean Dubost butter knives are one of the most used purchases that I have made recently. They are way more than a butter knife to me.
