The highlight of this collection is the Bras/Soulages, a knife designed by André Bras, brother of famed restaurateur Michel Bras and La Forge de Laguiole for the “Café Bras” restaurant at the Soulages Museum. This dishwasher-friendly Laguiole knife is an ode to both gastronomy and to the art of painting. It is an exclusive knife whose shape is subtly similar to that of a paint brush. It is distinguished by its dark dense wooden handle and offers a beautiful contrast with the light straight yatagan stainless steel blade. ______________
