Now, if you needed to buy yourself a set of serrated knives, are these not the ones you would grab? These knives have just arrived, along with a cutlery set in the same divine rainbow colours, or (for the more reserved host or hostess) a variety of sets with an ivory handle. But what are they?
These knives are made by Andre Verdier for Laguiole. For those of you who might be unfamiliar with Laguiole, they are ancient (the first Laguiole knife was "born" in 1829) manufacturers of exquisite knives, corkscrews and, more recently, cutlery. The corkscrews are held as prized possessions by the sommeliers who use them. Laguiole products are all made in France, with the care and precision of specialist artisans. For more information on the history of Laguiole (originally the name of the village in which the knife originated), please go to the Laguiole website.
Now that is a set of steak knives...
