Laguiole folding knife with cow horn - craftsmanship that endures

This Forge de Laguiole folding knife combines traditional French craftsmanship with premium materials. Featuring a handle made from authentic Aubrac cow horn and a blade crafted from T12 steel, this knife is not only functional but also a unique piece of art. It's perfect for everyday use as well as an elegant table knife for special occasions.

French craftsmanship with historical roots

The knife's distinctive curved shape originates from the early 1900s and has become an icon in French knife design. The traditional bee emblem on the spine serves as the knife maker's signature, while the shepherd's cross in the handle reflects the knife's historical use among shepherds. With a closed length of 11 cm (20 cm open) and a blade length of 90 mm, it offers both excellent functionality and elegant aesthetics. Two stainless steel bolsters protect the handle and complement the satin matte finish of the blade.

Exceptional materials

The blade is made from French T12 steel, providing an optimal balance between sharpness and durability. Through hot forging, high durability and a precise edge are achieved. The handle is crafted from horn sourced from Aubrac cows in the southern French highlands. Since horn is a natural material, its color and texture vary, making each knife unique – no two are alike. This combination of materials results in a knife weighing 130 grams, which feels great in hand.

Maintenance and handling

To maintain the knife's quality and appearance, it should be washed by hand. Machine washing can damage both the handle and blade – in fact, a single wash can ruin the fine surface. Thoroughly dry the knife after use and store it properly. For professional sharpening, H.W. Larsen offers this service at their sharpening shop with over 85 years of experience.
