This knife is handmade in the village of Laguiole and has a forged bee and forged carbon 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!
Early Laguiole knives did not have stainless blades; this alloy was invented in 1913.
Carbon knife blades are made using steels with a high carbon content, which is what makes it possible to achieve excellent hardness after heat treatment, guaranteeing the strength of the cutting edge, resistance to wear, and ease of sharpening. However, the blade will need to be protected from rust.
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.
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.
