Laguiole Tradition Thuja 12-Forge de Laguiole Best

The home of the world-famous Laguiole knives is in Thiers, a small town in the Auvergne region of France that has been famous for its cutlery for 500 years. Originally inspired by folding knives from Andalusia, the elegant knives with the famous bee, the Napoleonic heraldic animal, have been produced there in a wide variety of designs for generations. Ideal for everyday use, these knives are constant companions of their proud owners and have become an expression of the French way of life. The 12 cm long handle scales are made of the finest Thuja wood and is stylishly framed by inox bolsters. The individually forged and hardened T12 blade is stainless and has a matt satin finish. The traditional slipjoint pocket knife is opened with a nail nick. The steel has a hardness of 57 to 58 HRC, which makes the blade very resilient and its sharpness usually lasts for several years.
