This is a Laguiole Corkscrew knife, also called a Laguiole 2 piece.
The Laguiole knife of the 1880s was modified to include a corkscrew in response to an increased demand for corked wine bottles in urban society. Furthermore, those from Aveyron who migrated to Paris in the 1950 and worked in Cafés yearned for their heritage, café owners and servers were proud to show off their 2-piece knife in the capital city.
Crafted entirely by hand in the village of Laguiole in France, this knife boasts a forged T12 steel blade. Forge de Laguiole knives stand out as unrivaled in quality among all other Laguiole styles in the market today. Each masterpiece is crafted wholly by the same skilled artisan, guaranteeing pride in the final piece.
What is a Forged Bee? You can recognize a forged bee when you look just below it, where it meets the decorated spring. If you do not see any gaps, it’s a good sign that the bee and spring were forged from the same piece of metal. You can also recognize a soldered bee by noticing a straight gap/ridge where the bee meets the spring.
A 12 cm Laguiole folding knife can be used as a steak knife; its open length is 8. 3/4″ vs. ~9″ for a standard steak knife. Why use such a knife at the dinner table or at your favorite steak house? Check out our article (new tab) for the surprising answer.
