What is Laguiole?

If you're unfamiliar with these implements, read on to learn more about why you need them in your home:

• Laguiole refers to a region in France where this style of knife was originally made. Several brands at Wiliams Sonoma have utensils of this type in their selection.
• These knives have thin blades that are remarkably strong and damage-resistant. The blades are also highly resistant to rusting and are designed to be used for many years.
• The handles of these knives and corkscrews are ergonomic, so they're comfortable to hold and use.
• These products often feature a bee embellishment to set them apart from other brands.
• These items are crafted in France from durable materials, such as stainless steel and real wood.
• To clean your knives or other items made in this region, use mild dish detergent and hand wash them for best results. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

Give an Elegant Gift

If you've got a wine lover or a chef on your shopping list, you can't go wrong with something from this region. Check out these gift-giving ideas:

• Many of these products come in elegant boxes, so all you need to do is wrap them in decorative paper and add a bow. The boxes themselves are so lovely that your gift recipient can use them for stylish storage after taking the implements out.
• For small items, such as a wine opener or a single knife, a gift bag makes a simple yet stylish presentation. Wrap the item in a coordinating shade of tissue paper before placing it in the bag for even more visual interest.
• Consider adding a few accessories to your gift. For example, if you're giving a corkscrew, pair it with a crystal decanter for an extra-thoughtful touch.
• These implements are a great gift for birthdays and holidays, and they also make a great present for a housewarming party that your recipient will use over and over.

The right tools make all the difference when preparing food or even opening wine. Enjoy professional-grade quality with something from the Laguiole selection of products.
