Laguiole en Aubrac, Double Platines PLEIN - Juniper Wood

Juniper wood with its light and warm colour shade graces not only the handle of this Laguiole knife, but also vents a delightful and fine fragrance!

The knives by Laguiole en Aubrac combine the long tradition of knife makers in perfect symbiosis with a penchant for perfection, while the price, though, remains within a sound limit. The love of the product becomes visible in every single hand-bevelled, hand-smoothed curve and bend of the handle as well as in the harmonious choice of wood types or horn bolsters.

* Handle made from fragrant Juniper wood * Knife closed: 4 3/4" or 4.7 in * Steel: high quality 12C27 steel * Bee and spring are forged from one piece * Decoratively engraved spine * Delivered in a gift box * Double plates approx. 20mm wide * Full handle without any bolsters

The handle scales are made from Juniper wood.

Juniper wood has the scent of fine pepper, courtesy of the tree’s roots reaching deep down into rich soil. It is a rare kind of wood which makes the knives even more valuable.

Juniper belongs to woods which are distinguished by their exceptionally high natural durability. It is highly weather resistant i.e. it is not susceptible to wood destroying fungi and it is resistant to wood colonising insects.

Juniper wood is much sought after for the manufacture of craftworks, including turning and carving because of its uniform, dense structure, its decorative colour and grain and its pleasant, lasting and refreshing aroma. These crafts include - amongst others - plates, cups, boxes, spoons and forks. It is also highly sought after for cabinet making, to manufacture extravagant small pieces of furniture, delicate inlay work and panel fillings.

Laguiole Honore Durand, Double Platines Two-coloured Pistachio Wood

The knives manufactured by the cutlers of Honoré Durand are custom-built by hand in the tradition of the French ‘Maîtres couteliers’ (master cutlers) from high quality materials. Depending on the design of the knives, up to 105 individual operations are necessary until they have their final look. Therefore, each single piece is unique in its kind. Numerous awards at national and international exhibitions and trade fairs attest the tremendous creativity of this company.

One man – one knife, this is the company’s motto: Every knife is made only by one trained and qualified cutler who is responsible for the product, quite contrary to industrial mass production.

After production, the knives pass through the master craftsman’s discerning hands and only flawless Laguioles (Laguiole knives) receive the company logo ‘Laguiole de l’Artisan’ in the sign of the bull. And of this they are very proud in and around the town of Laguiole. Also the many national and international awards bear testimony to this, awards which the knives of Honoré Louis Durand have received at exhibitions and trade fairs.

Claude Dozorme Laguiole high quality Champagne Sword, Handmade in FRANCE In the times of the French Empire (1805 – 1830), the necks of Champagne bottles were cut off using a sabre/sword to celebrate the victories. To revive this century-old tradition, CLAUDE DOZORME reprised this worthy Champagne sword.

Established in 1902 by Blaise Dozorme, also referred to as "the wolf", the Claude Dozorme brand is the signature of a long and modern family tradition. The brand of Claude Dozorme, himself an anti-conformist, corroborates through the collections bearing his name, a reflection of the cultural melting pot of our society. For more than 100 years, all products have carried his name as the guarantee for quality, technical know-how and tradition.

Champagne sword in stainless steel and wood in beautiful perfection. Forged from a single piece of the finest quality steel and immaculately polished, for highest comfort with wonderful feel and look and the bee as the typical Laguiole design element.

This Champagne sword is made with great attention to detail and by hand in the long-established cutlers’ of Claude Dozorme (Thiers, France) and justifiably carries the classical Laguiole bee symbol.

Handle from precious wood with inlay works Blade: stainless steel X46Cr13 The Champagne sword is delivered in an exquisite wooden casket

Sabrage

With the technique known as "Sabrage" not only the cork is catapulted from the bottle, but also a piece from the top of the bottle neck is severed. The well-directed blow with a very sharp item causes a clean break. Napoleon knew of this technique and for festive occasions he would ‘crack open’ a bottle of French Champagne together with his officers.

For this, the Champagne sword is set with its cutting edge to the body of the bottle and one finger width above the bottle label (which must not be touched). The bottle neck is held at an angle of approx. 20 degrees, the sword is cast down onto it in a flowing motion, which hits the intersection of the thin, faintly visible, prepared vertical seam and the lip of the bottle. The impact of the sabre on this weak point creates a crack that rapidly propagates through the glass, fuelled by the momentum of the sabre and the pressure from within the bottle. Once the crack has severed the top from the bottle, the pressure inside the bottle and the transferred momentum from the sabre will send the top flying, typically for a distance of up to 20m (16–33 ft).

It is a frequent practice in France, to label the cut off top of the bottle and cork with the date of the ceremony and to keep the top as a lucky charm. The experienced sabreur or sommelier can open the bottle with little loss of Champagne. The tradition of the “Sabrage” ritual was founded by Napoleon after a battle he had won during the Russian campaign in 1812.

Laguiole knives by Chevalier Laguiole

Elegance in perfect craftsmanship. A CHEVALIER LAGUIOLE captivates the heart of any Laguiole knife collector with its many aspects that appeal to the eye of the beholder. This noble symphony of wood and metal - or its superb style when it is completely made from metal (high-gloss aluminium) - gives these knives an aura one can hardly escape.

The engraving continues throughout the top of the spine and ends in the traditional Laguiole bee at whose head the half engraved blade made from high quality 12C27 steel embraces. Models made from wood have handle scales which are inlayed with the symbol of the traditional shepherd’s cross. Throughout history, the owner of a Laguiole knife used the knife cross to stick into the ground and the pray in front of the cross.

* Handle from Brazilian Tulipwood and high-gloss aluminium * Length of blade (cutting edge without ricasso): 92mm * Handle length: 4 3/4" or 4.7 in * 12C27 steel * Genuine knife by ‘Chevalier Laguiole

The handle scales are manufactured from Brazilian Tulipwood and aluminium.

Brazilian Tulipwood is a very hard wood and has a light rose-like scent. Bahia Tulipwood (Fabaceae, Dalbergia variabilis) is also called Brazilian Tulipwood or Pinkwood.

Bahia Tulipwood is said to be the most expensive and most beautiful wood. Both are very hard, dense and splintery, it cuts cleanly and easily, turns well and can be whittled with a knife, but it is generally difficult to work with.

Brazilian Tulipwood polishes beautifully, but is hard to bond with adhesives. It is used for luxury goods, veneers, in piano manufacture and for precious furniture as well as the inner lining of boxes for silverware. Originating from Brazil and the East side of South America, these types of wood are available in Europe only in very limited quantities.

Discover the true art of knife making with the cutlery of Aveyron

Cutting utensils for connoisseurs. Holding a Laguiole knife in your hands is an unforgettable experience. A symbol of invaluable know-how, this knife can rather be considered as a precious keepsake.

The crafted metal and the combination of exceptional materials are the results of this treasured know-how that has been passed down from generation to generation.

These are not only functional and technical, but also very personal items. The elegant lines and the exact, unimposing weight characterize over and over again each Laguiole knife. The pleasure of a sharp blade, sensuality and luxury of the materials are the mark of the true art of knife making.

* Handle made of rosewood

* Length of closed knife: 4.7 in

* Bee and spring forged from a single piece

* Decoratively forged spine

Rosewood is a very hard wood that has a subtle scent reminiscent of roses. Bahia Rosewood (Fabaceae, Dalbergia decipularis) is also called Tulipwood or Pinkwood.

Rosewood (Dalbergia variabilis) is one of the most expensive and beautiful woods. Despite being very thick and hard, Rosewood is also brittle. It splits smoothly and bends nicely. It is, nonetheless, quite difficult to work with.

It polishes nicely, but does not glue together well. It is often used in the construction of luxury items, veneer, pianos, high-end furniture and the inner lining of silverware cases. Originally from Brazil and other eastern parts of South America, relatively small amounts are available in Europe.

Every cutler whose knives are offered through Original-Laguiole fulfill the strictest business regulations of the CITES conference for the protection of species for the use of tropical woods, horns, corals and ivory in its grip plates.

This expensive wood, used to make musical instruments, grows to a height of about 10 m (32.8 ft.), much like rosewood. Unlike rosewood, however, it is more finely pored and harder. It grows exclusively in a small region in the northeast of Brazil. This wood is resistant to aging and extremely durable!

Laguiole "Le Fidele" Dodu - Ebony/Boxtree Wood

This is one of the most unusual Laguiole knives as, by way of its perfect craftsmanship, the dark, precious ebony forms a high-contrast in combination with the bright, tough boxtree wood in these handle scales, which are purposefully designed to be heavier!

Here you see an exquisite “Le Fidèle Edition Dodu” with handle made from ebony/boxtree wood, 4 3/4" or 4.7 in. This edition of high quality Laguiole knives - Edition DODU - is something very special as the handles were skilfully made from two components, in this case ebony and boxtree. The look of this knife is breathtaking as the work, in its differing layers and the composition of the wood and metal, convey a sophisticated overall impression of nobility.

Ebony (from the Arabic word abanus) refers to wood from the genus of ebony trees (Diospyros – persimmons: ca. 120 species), which belong to the botanical family of the ebony plants (Ebenaceae), mainly native in the tropics of East India and Africa. The jet-black heartwood (without any visible annual rings) is very hard and heavy and belongs to the most beautiful and most expensive types of wood.

Buxus, or boxwood, has been fascinating people from all cultures because of its slow and steady growth, its resilience to diseases and the unique qualities of its wood. Boxtree is one of the most rare and expensive types of wood - an intensive search for a substitute wood is still under way. Boxwood is one of the hardest and heaviest of all European types of forested wood available on the market. The wood is dense, very hard, elastic and durable, but not weather-resistant. Boxwood, when worked, turns, carves and polishes well, but shrinks considerably and is difficult to split.
