Handcrafted quality from France
Every Laguiole knife is crafted following proud traditions dating back to 1828. The olive wood handle gives the knife a unique character with its natural grain, meaning no two knives are ever quite alike. The two brass bolsters add both strength and a refined appearance. The T14 steel blade is a special French alloy renowned for its outstanding sharpness and durability. The precisely ground blade makes the knife a versatile tool that sits comfortably and balanced in the hand.
Cultural history in pocket form
This folding knife carries a piece of French cultural heritage. Its characteristic details each tell their own story – the cross on the handle originates from a time when French shepherds used their knives as improvised altars during prayer, whilst the bee on the spine is Laguiole's signature and mark of quality. With its slim silhouette and low weight, the knife is designed to accompany you through life, and with proper care it can last for generations.
Maintenance and care
To preserve the knife's beauty and functionality, it should always be washed by hand. Machine washing can damage both handle and blade – even a single wash can harm the fine surface. Dry the knife thoroughly after use and store it in a protected place. The natural olive wood requires minimal care to retain its warm lustre. When the blade eventually needs refreshing, H.W. Larsen offers professional sharpening with over 85 years of experience.
