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 genuine horn is a natural material with unique character, including varying degrees of obsidian depth and subtle organic veining, 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 aesthetic and deep luster you select is precisely what will arrive for your collection.
Handle Character: This model is adorned with genuine Black Horn Tip (Pointe de Corne) scales. Harvested from the solid tip of the horn, this material is significantly denser and more durable than the hollow base. It is prized for its deep, obsidian-like coloration and naturally high-gloss finish when polished. While appearing as a solid, sophisticated black at first glance, the material often reveals subtle, smoky translucencies when held to the light, embodying the timeless spirit of French heritage.
Free Same-Day Business-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.
