Overview

This knife is handmade in the village of Laguiole and has a forged bee and T12 steel blade. Each one has been crafted with pride by a single master cutler, ensuring that each masterpiece is unique to its craftsman's work ethic!

The Forge de Laguiole workshop is located in the tiny village of Laguiole, France - Pop. 1300 - where the famous knife first appeared in the early 1800s. Today, Forge de Laguiole represents the pinnacle of quality in the Laguiole cutlery business. Their reputation for integrity, ethics, and innovative designs has made these small 100 employees company the "Must Have" Laguiole luxury brand.

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 are 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.

Many Laguiole pocket knives from most manufacturers, including Forge de Laguiole (7 cm knives), offer "soldered bees" models. Most Laguiole knives found on the market are solder bee models. Adding the bee to the spring by soldering saves time and money; this is why the cost of soldered bee knives can be substantially less. The original Laguiole knives had forged bees.

You Done Good

When you acquire something -- be it a friendship, a thing, an experience, knowledge or something else -- expectations form ahead of it. The outcome makes you grateful, satisfied, disappointed, happy or maybe sad. My purchase of a Forge de Laguiole Dark Horn Knive from Laguiole Imports makes me very happy. Quality material, exquisite workmanship and it's overall beauty combine to invite my hands to hold it, caress it and my mind to smile.

"You done good," the gunny would say. (Marine Corps)
