Descripción

The knives by Laguiole en Aubrac combine the long tradition of knife makers in perfect symbiosis with a penchant for perfection, while the price, though, can be measured in worldly standards. The love of the product becomes visible in every single hand-bevelled, hand-smoothed curve and bend of the handle as well as in the harmonious choice of wood types or horn bolsters.Handle made from fragrant Juniper wood*Knife closed:120mm*Steel: high quality 12C27 steel*Bee and spring are forged from one piece*Decoratively engraved spine*Bolsters: brushed satin-finish*Delivered in a gift box*Double plates approx. 20mm wide. Juniper wood has the scent of fine pepper, courtesy of the tree's roots reaching deep down into rich soil. It is a rare kind of wood which makes the knives even more valuable. Juniper belongs to woods which are distinguished by their exceptionally high natural durability. It is highly weather resistant i.e. it is not susceptible to wood destroying fungi and it is resistant to wood colonising insects. Juniper wood is much sought after for the manufacture of craftworks, including turning and carving because of its uniform, dense structure, its decorative colour and grain and its pleasant, lasting and refreshing aroma. These crafts include - amongst others - plates, cups, boxes, spoons and forks. It is also highly sought after for cabinet making, to manufacture extravagant small pieces of furniture, delicate inlay work and panel fillings. From its thinner stems and branches, walking canes, handles for whips, pipe stems, cigarette holders and toothpicks are made. Furthermore, it can be used to cure meat and meat products, as well as fish, because such foods inherit a unique flavour.KNIFE is MADE in FRANCE
