Laguiole Traditional 12 cm Knife Royal Ebony

The Laguiole Traditional 12 cm is the quintessential size for the classic French folding knife. Substantial and perfectly balanced, the 12 cm size makes this model an ideal folding steak knife, allowing you to bring the precision and elegance of French cutlery to any dining table. This model features an individually hand-filed spring, with the artisan carving unique patterns into the steel. Because these spring tops are all individually filed and unique, no two knives share the same decorative work, making your knife a one-of-a-kind masterpiece of functional art.

Individual Photography: Because Royal Ebony is a natural timber famous for its high-contrast "marble" grain and dramatic color shifts, no two handles are alike. The knife pictured in these photos is the exact one you will receive. This ensures that the specific pattern and visual rhythm of the wood you select is precisely what enters your collection.

Handle Character: This model is adorned with genuine Royal Ebony (also known as Pale Moon Ebony) scales. Unlike traditional solid black Ebony, the Royal variety is prized for its spectacular aesthetic, featuring a pale, creamy-white background interlaced with bold, ink-black streaks and swirling mineral deposits. This creates a high-contrast, graphic appearance that resembles fine calligraphy or marble. It is an exceptionally dense and heavy wood that polishes to a glass-like finish, offering a cool, substantial feel in the hand and a striking modern twist on a classic material.
