Laguiole Traditional 12 cm Knife Thuya

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 Thuya Burl is a natural material famous for its dense clusters of "eyes" and rich, swirling grain, no two handles are alike. The knife pictured in these photos is the exact one you will receive. This ensures that the specific depth and unique figure of the wood you select is precisely what will arrive for your collection.

Handle Character: This model is adorned with genuine Thuya Burl (Tetraclinis articulata) scales. Sourced from the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, Thuya is a rare and prestigious wood harvested from the tree's root. It is prized for its high-contrast aesthetic, featuring a vibrant reddish-brown base peppered with hundreds of tiny, dark knots known as "eyes." Beyond its visual splendor, Thuya is a naturally aromatic wood with a pleasant, cedar-like fragrance. Its high density and oil content allow it to be polished to a mirror-like luster, offering a silky, substantial feel that is synonymous with high-end artisanal luxury.
