This Laguiole black flatware set weighs exactly right in your hand. You feel the full-tang construction before you see it — the blade runs through the entire handle, giving every piece a balance that stamped flatware never gets close to. Twenty-four pieces. Six dinner forks, six steak knives, six dinner spoons, six teaspoons. Complete service for six. Laguiole Jean Néron has made cutlery in the Midi-Pyrénées since 1880. Five generations. Same family, same workshop. Each handle carries the signature bee — a mark of the Laguiole region dating back to Napoleonic times. The black handles read sharp against a white tablecloth. Warm against natural linen. They move between a Tuesday dinner and a Saturday gathering without looking out of place. Everything arrives in a beechwood box with an acrylic lid. Storage, display, and gift packaging in one. Dishwasher safe. Hand-washing keeps the finish sharper longer. 100% made in France.
