Forge de Laguiole Collection 12 cm Pistachio Satin Finish

1 in stock

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 one 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.

Shopping for a unique pocket knife not only holds the promise of ownership but the excitement of finally beholding an item admired through a screen. However, all too often, what was envisioned and what is unboxed bear a startling, sometimes painful discrepancy.

You will receive the actual folding knife shown in the photos.
No one wants to view photos of a beautiful and unique knife and receive something not even close to the representative image; this is why we take pictures of each piece. Select your One-Of-A-Kind knife!

Things to Look For
The file work on the springs (top of handle) are individually hand filled by a French artisan, therefore all are different. Additionally, two handles made from the same material can have very different patterns.

How to Maintain Your Pocket Knife

Pocket Knives are designed for cutting only. Do not use it as a screwdriver, crowbar, wood chisel, as this can cause irreversible damage and void the warranty.

To keep your pocket knife in top condition, follow these maintenance tips:

  1. Lubricate Moving Parts: Periodically apply a few drops of lubricant to all moving parts. This ensures smooth operation and extends the life of your knife.
  2. Hand Wash Only: Always hand wash your pocket knife. After washing, dry it quickly with a soft towel to prevent rust and corrosion.
  3. Recommended Lubricant: We highly recommend using Sentry-Solutions Tuf Glide for all our folding knives. It provides excellent lubrication and protection.

Important Note: Tuf Glide is not considered a "food-safe" product. Avoid using it on knives that come into contact with food.

By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your pocket knife remains reliable and ready for your next adventure.
