Laguiole Forged Steak Knives Fossilized Mammoth Ivory

Each steak knife handle is meticulously crafted from fossilized woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) tusk, a remarkable material that is over 15,000 years old and sourced from the frigid expanses of Siberia. This ancient ivory offers a distinctive and storied aesthetic, showcasing the unique characteristics that arise from millennia of burial. 

It is essential to understand that mammoth ivory may display a variety of natural imperfections, including cracks, discolorations, and inconsistencies in texture. These features are not flaws, but rather reflections of the extraordinary journey this material has undergone. During its entombment, the tusk experienced extensive sedimentation and the immense weight of geological pressure, which contributed to the diverse array of colors and patterns observed in the fossilized ivory. Each handle, therefore, serves as a testament to both the history of the Earth and the beauty of organic materials transformed by time.

Crafted in Thiers, France—the renowned capital of cutlery in Europe—each knife produced by Fontenille Pataud is meticulously handcrafted by a single artisan from start to finish. This dedicated process ensures that each owner takes immense pride in their final product.
