Forge de Laguiole collector’s knives come at a premium price compared to similar models, and here’s why. The intricacy of the spring and bee construction and the arduous chiseling and filing of their tops collectively add up to the elevated cost. Lesser-priced Laguiole knives have a bee soldered in place and feature a stamped spring top and bee, rarely receiving meticulous hand chiseling like this knife.
The art of chiseling a “one of a kind” folding knife is time-consuming, sometimes well over one hour to complete the spring & bee alone. Only the most skilled cutlers/artists at the Forge de Laguiole shop can achieve this highly complex task. The chiseling and filing of a knife like this can be viewed on this YouTube video (new window).
Crafted in the quaint French village of Laguiole, knives by Forge de Laguiole stand out with their unparalleled quality and craftsmanship. Each masterpiece is meticulously handmade by a master craftsman, exuding a sense of pride that translates into the final product.
Did you know that a 12 cm Laguiole folding knife can be used as a steak knife?
It has an open length of 8.3/4″, slightly shorter than the standard steak knife that measures around 9″. Have you ever wondered why some people prefer to use this type of knife at the dinner table or at their favorite steak house? You might be surprised by the answer, check out our article (new tab) to find out.
Handle Material
Naturally Shed Elk stag (Austria or France).
Stag is a great choice for knife handles because it is tough, resilient, and has a unique texture and grain pattern that add character and beauty to the knife. It is also relatively lightweight and comfortable to hold. The natural texture of the stag provides a good grip, even when the handle is wet or greasy, which is an important consideration for a tool designed for cutting and slicing.
