Staying true to the brand's uncompromising ethics, every single knife is manufactured from start to finish by a single master cutler—ensuring each piece is a unique testament to its maker's craftsmanship. The 12 cm size (approx. 8 ¾\" open) is incredibly versatile, making it the perfect everyday carry (EDC) companion and an elegant alternative to a traditional steak knife at the dinner table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Character:\u003c\/strong\u003e This specific model features a handle crafted from authentic \u003cstrong\u003ePistachio Wood (Pistacia vera)\u003c\/strong\u003e. Sourced primarily from the Mediterranean region, pistachio is a remarkably dense and resilient hardwood celebrated for its striking visual character. The wood grain exhibits a beautiful, contrasting interplay of golden yellows, vibrant greens, and rich earthy browns, ensuring that no two handles are ever exactly alike. The handle is further detailed with the iconic \u003cstrong\u003eShepherd's Cross\u003c\/strong\u003e, a hallmark of traditional Laguiole heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 1.1rem; color: #003366; margin-top: 25px;\"\u003eTraditional Carbon Steel Blade \u0026amp; Forged Bee\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike standard stainless steel, this model honors the roots of French knife-making with a \u003cstrong\u003ehigh-carbon steel blade\u003c\/strong\u003e. Favored by purists, carbon steel offers unmatched cutting strength and is significantly easier to sharpen. Because carbon steel does not contain chromium, it will naturally develop a beautiful, protective patina over time. \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Always dry the blade immediately after use and regularly apply a drop of food-grade mineral oil to protect the metal from moisture.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis model proudly features a true \u003cstrong\u003eForged Bee and Spring\u003c\/strong\u003e.
