Jean Dubost Laguiole 24-Piece Flatware Set (Black)

The Laguiole 24-piece flatware set, with Black handles, is French artistry and craftsmanship at its very best. The trademark "bee" appears on every piece of flatware to assure you that this set is crafted in France according to a centuries-old tradition. But the sleek shape, impressive heft and…

I was a touch disappointed. They are nice, but I was expecting the next level up with nicer quality and prettier detailing. It was not clear in the pictures. If you are looking for a nice daily set of utensils do get them. They seem to be durable and they are dishwasher safe which is a plus.

Best Uses

My husband and I fall in love with the steak knives our friends had at their house in Mexico so we decided to get the whole set. We read all the reviews, good and bad and still decided to buy it. The con is that the flatware is REALLY light. It actually really feels cheap when you hold it. It looks great, but feels cheap. I have not been using dishwasher, so I dont know if they crack, I handwash them. So far, they are O.K., but not worth almost 200 usd.

This flatware cracks and breaks after a few rounds in the dishwasher, even though it is marketed as dishwasher safe. Chunks of the plastic fell out and into bowls of soup making this a poorly constructed product as well as a consumer safety risk.

For the same price, you are able to buy in most places only six steak knives. With this set, not only do you get steak-knife qualities knives, you also get forks, soup spoons and tea spoons. What a deal!

I own and love the Laguiole cheese knife set, and was excited to find the flatware set (which I purchased as a Christmas gift), which has the trademark bee and is a very nice shape. However, I was extremely disappointed at the weight and overall look: the pieces were very light weight, the material appeared thin and poorly manufactured, and they were not very sturdy and easily bent. I plan to return this product and stick with the cheese serving set from this manufacturer.

Love the set, but NO SALAD FORKS

 
4.0

Pros

  • Easy to Use
  • Attractive Design

Cons

  • No salad forks

Best Uses

I love the set but I didn't notice that it does not come with salad forks. It is a pain. I would like it better if it had salad forks. My mistake. I didn't pay close enough attention and just assumed it came with them. You know what they say about making assumptions.
