Liadou de Table: handmade luxury cutlery & table knife sets

A bolsterless ergonomic handle and a razor-sharp blade

The high-end materials used to handcraft Liadou’s table knife sets

At Liadou, every detail of our handcrafted knives is carefully considered, from their razor-sharp blades forged from superior steels to their gracefully curved high-end ergonomic handles. We have a rigorous select process for choosing our suppliers in order to ensure that their business practices respect the environment, protect biodiversity and prevent deforestation.

Smooth and exceptionally sharp blades forged from the finest steel

The signature blade of a Liadou® is easily recognizable due to its large size and subtly downward pointing silhouette. In order to meet the high expectations of the most exigent professionals, the Liadou de Table’s® blade is forged from Z40C13 stainless steel - a tempered Martensitic steel that meets EN ISO 10088 standards. Careful consideration went into selecting this steel because Liadou® knows that not all steels are created equal. We have achieved a perfect balance of strength and corrosion resistant properties without compromising on the exceptional cutting capacity that made our Liadou Original® famous. The Liadou du Vallon® trademark engraved on the blade of each of our knives is a testament to their outstanding quality and serves as a proof of provenance, not only for the knives themselves, but also for all of the materials used to craft them.

High-end artisanal table knives that can be personalized

The authentic and luxurious Liadou de Table® knives are customizable. You can have a personalized message engraved on the blade of your knives without any additional fees. This inscription can be up to twenty characters (spaces included) and you can choose from three different fonts. Special orders for logos and images are also possible.

An ergonomic handcrafted handle made from premium materials

Special attention must be put into designing a table knife’s handle in order to provide excellent grip and optimal cutting capacity. The collection of artisanal luxury cutlery, Liadou de Table®, has a particularly ergonomic handle. The handle scales are meticulously handcrafted from ultra-durable materials: box tree, ebony, juniper or olive tree wood, black carbon fiber or fiberglass (white, blue, red, orange or black). Elevate even the best dressed tables with a certain je ne sais quoi of French class regardless of which handle material you select: carbon fiber or one of our six different types of wood. Our new models also come with brass, copper or titanium finishes,
