Your Laguiole knife is a masterpiece crafted entirely by the skilled artisans at the Laguiole en Aubrac workshop. The blades, springs, solid brass bolsters, and pins are all meticulously forged at their renowned facility.
The handle is made from Amourette, also known as snakewood, an exotic South American timber prized for its striking appearance. Its color ranges from light to dark brown, often featuring intricate veining or dark speckles, which gives it its distinctive name. This prestigious wood is highly sought after in the world of cutlery for its unique look and exceptional durability. Snakewood is not only visually appealing but also highly resistant to scratches and impacts, making it perfect for everyday use. Moreover, it is a natural and renewable resource, appealing to those who prioritize ecological sustainability.
Working with snakewood is challenging, but when expertly crafted by our cutlers, it results in a smooth, glossy finish. The polished brass bolsters complement the handle’s sheen, making your Laguiole en Aubrac knife a radiant and sophisticated piece, whether for daily use or as a collector’s item.
This knife also features the iconic shepherd’s cross on its handle, a hallmark of traditional Laguiole design.
Please be aware that due to the natural origin of our materials, the appearance of each knife may vary, making every piece unique. As such, our product images are not contractual representations.
