Roger Orfèvre Laguiole Le Theirs Steak Knife

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

These feature a straight-edge blade. This design allows for clean, precise cuts through meat without tearing the fibers, which is often preferred by those who want to maintain the texture of a high-quality steak.

Full-tang means the metal of the blade extends all the way through the handle. This provides better balance, stability, and durability compared to knives where the blade is only partially inserted into the handle.

To keep the wood looking its best, you should occasionally apply a food-safe mineral oil to the handles. This prevents the wood from drying out and helps maintain its natural luster over time.

These knives are authentically crafted in Thiers, France, a region with a centuries-old history of professional knife-making.
