The **Laguiole en Aubrac Gourmet chef's knife olive wood 20 cm** is an elegant and versatile handmade kitchen knife. The large 'belly' and pointed tip of the blade stand out. Thanks to this shape, there's a lot of cutting edge for you to work with. The narrow edge towards the tip is perfect for the more detailed tasks. These knives are made by hand in Espalion, France.

## Laguiole en Aubrac Gourmet: stainless steel blade

The blade is made from stainless 12c27 Sandvik steel. A type of steel with a relatively high carbon content making the knife razor-sharp and rock-solid. Nevertheless, it isn't a steel that is prone to rust or get ugly spots. It's also easy to sharpen if the knife starts to lose some of its sharpness over time.

## Laguiole en Aubrac Gourmet: handle made from olive wood

Versatility is, of course, key, but design is also important. The handle is made from olive wood, a dark hardwood that doesn't just look beautiful, it's also highly resistant to moisture. Great for use in the kitchen. The handle is enhanced with additional decorations. The bolster, the part in between the handle and blade is nicely embellished and looks amazing. 

On top, you will find the characterizing Laguiole bee. The spine of the handle is embellished with file work that was applied by hand and the scales are attached with rivets. In the middle of the handle these rivets are shaped like a shepherd's cross. This cross refers to the legend of catholic shepherds who, during their crusades to Spain, wanted to pray far away from a church or chapel. They put the knife in the ground to say a prayer, with the cross facing towards them.

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_handle_length

Measured from the tip of the blade to the back of the handle

Total length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

Dimensions & weight

value_steel_hardness

The hardness in Rockwell C for a knife is always according to the manufacturer's specifications. When a manufacturer specifies a value of 56-58HRC, for instance, we always note the highest value, i.e. 58HRC.

This concerns the type of edge [Want to learn more about a serrated versus a plain edge](/en/ct/pocket-knives-difference-plain-edge-serrated.htm)?

Type of edge

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).

Way of sharpening

value_total_sharpening_angle

This is the total sharpening angle, so the sharpening angles of both sides of the blade combined. For a knife with a one-sided grind this equals a single sharpening angle.

For the number of knives in the knife sets we stick to the information supplied by the manufacturer. Some brands consider the block to be part of the set, others don't.
