Laguiole Jean Dubost Cheese Knife with Olive Wood Handle

No, these knives should be hand-washed only. The olive wood handles can crack or lose their luster if exposed to the high heat and harsh detergents of a dishwasher.

These knives are versatile enough for most cheeses, ranging from soft bries to semi-hard varieties like cheddar or gouda. The 2.5mm stainless steel blade provides enough stability for clean, precise cuts.

To keep the wood in top condition, it is recommended to occasionally rub the handles with a food-safe mineral oil. This prevents the wood from drying out and helps maintain its natural grain and color.

The set includes a dedicated wooden storage box, which is the best way to protect the blades from dulling and keep the set organized. Storing them in the box also helps prevent the wood handles from being damaged by other utensils in a drawer.

These knives feature a sharp, straight-edged design. This allows for smooth, clean slices through cheese without tearing the texture of softer varieties.
