An exceptional knife from the Forge de Laguiole Art Knifework collection

The Forge de Laguiole Coutellerie d’Art collection brings together singular pieces crafted in the historic workshops of the brand, located in the heart of the village of Laguiole. Each creation is conceived as a true work of knife-making art, where precision of gesture and the selection of noble materials give life to unique folding knives intended for discerning enthusiasts and collectors.

This 12 cm model embodies a balance between elegance and functionality. Its solid ebony handle reveals a deep, natural darkness, enhanced by a spring and the iconic bee designed like a piece of jewelry. The satin-finished stainless-steel liners add a subtle modern touch, while the polished blade finish highlights cutting precision and the purity of its lines.

The Forge de Laguiole craftsmanship

Each knife is entirely handcrafted in the workshops of Forge de Laguiole, where French cutlery expertise has been preserved and refined since 1987. The blades are hot-forged and carefully worked to ensure long-lasting sharpness and a perfect balance between strength and aesthetic refinement. Nothing is standardized: every piece requires time, attention, and full mastery of each stage of production.

Stéphane Rambaud, master cutler born in Lyon in 1968, trained at the prestigious Nogent Cutlery School and awarded the Gold Medal of the Best Apprentice of France, joined the manufacture in 2005. There, he designs exceptional folding knives inspired by his own creative vision or bespoke commissions, respecting the traditional codes of the Laguiole knife while introducing a more contemporary design expression.
