Our Features
A sharp, quality knife is a chef's best friend - it should feel good in your hand and stand up to the rigours of the kitchen. Before you choose a new knife, it is important to understand some of the hallmarks of quality.
Our Craftmanship
Each Le Creuset knife, from raw material to the final packaging, goes through a series of rigorous steps. Created by the experts in Solingen, Germany (a mark of quality), the result is a marriage of traditional craftmanship with modern design.
Premium Steel
Our Stainless Steel and Olive Wood Handle knives have blades made from 64 layers of Damascus steel, wrapped around a VG-10 Steel Core for stability and an exceptionally sharp edge. Our Phenolic Handle knives feature a sharp stainless steel blade with outstanding longevity.
Comfortable Grip
Learning how to hold a knife is an important first step to ensure the best results when using it. The handle should make the knife feel like an extension of your body as it is being used, and the ergonomic handles of Le Creuset knives have been designed to do just that.
