Who is buying what Laguiole flatware (cutlery)?


Having started on the data-collection for our copper cookware, I thought you might also be interested in our most popular ranges of Laguiole authentic flatware. I have again combined the sales records from our french-only site where you can buy direct here but also our three eBay shops – ella-usa, ella-uk and ella-de.

We sell flatware from three of the best-quality producers of Laguiole knives and forks, each of which maintains the fine traditions of the original and all based in the 'Mecca' of knife-production: Thiers.

Jean Dubost provides sets in two different weights of steel - 15/10 and 25/10. The lighter (15/10) are not quite as robust as the heavier (25/10) but still a fine choice. For both lighter and heavier ranges our multi-colour sets in 24-piece, 30-piece and 40-piece boxes are clear winners. The high-quality acrylic handles are completely dishwasher-proof and the wonderful array of colours like boiled sweets cheer up any meal. Friends report their family members love choosing their particular favourites and it adds a personal dimension to laying the table that is also a talking point.



In the middle-range weight (18/10) of Luxinox flatware by Pradel, our boxes of 6 steak knives and forks are the most popular.



And in our top quality Laguiole Production range of Luxe (the clue is in the name!) 25/10 steel, the box of 6 steak knives and forks in light wood are also the winners.




So what does this tell me? I think it just reflects how people use flatware. Laguiole cutlery makes perfect everyday choices but for the person who is looking specifically for very durable and sharp steak knives (so perfect for summery barbecues) the classic wooden handles are somehow a more natural choice.
