The Laguiole XS 9 cm represents the ultimate expression of the "Gentleman’s knife"—compact, sophisticated, and engineered for those who appreciate discreet luxury. This small and elegantly designed pen knife incorporates a precision lock back mechanism to ensure that the blade locks securely when in use. A Fontenille Pataud masterpiece, it features a traditionally forged bee and a smooth, classic spring, markers of a knife crafted with absolute precision by a single master artisan in the heart of France.
Individual Photography: Because Rosewood is a natural material known for its varied linear grain and deep color transitions, we provide high-resolution photography for every individual piece. The knife pictured in these photos is the exact one you will receive. This ensures that the specific grain alignment and rich hue you select is precisely what enters your collection.
Handle Character: This model is adorned with genuine Rosewood (Bois de Rose) scales. Historically favored by master cabinetmakers and luthiers, Rosewood is prized for its extraordinary density and its rich, warm palette ranging from deep chocolate to reddish-browns, often accented by dark, sweeping mineral streaks. The wood is naturally oily and durable, providing a silky-smooth tactile experience that only improves with age. When polished, it exhibits a subtle, natural luster that highlights the sophisticated, understated elegance of the XS silhouette.
Free Same Business Day Engraving: Personalize your Laguiole with our complimentary engraving service. Every engraving order is processed and shipped the same business day. This precision service allows you to transform a rare artisanal tool into a truly personal heirloom or an unforgettable gift without delay.

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.
Most inexpensive Laguiole pocket knives found on the market have a soldered bee. The process of adding the bee to the spring by soldering it saves time and money, this is why the cost of soldered bee knives can be substantially less. The original Laguiole knives had forged bees.
