Forge de Laguiole Folding Knife with Aubrac Cow Horn Handle – Brut de Forge Blade
A Forge de Laguiole folding knife with distinctive character
This Forge de Laguiole folding knife brings together three naturally complementary elements: Aubrac cow horn, polished stainless steel and a blade with a brut de forge finish.
The handle reveals the patterns of the natural horn. The polished bolsters frame the horn and accentuate the knife’s lines. The blade adds a more rugged appearance, contrasting with the bright metal finishes.
The result is a single-blade knife whose appeal lies as much in its silhouette as in the individual characteristics of its materials.
An 11 cm Aubrac cow horn handle
The Aubrac cow horn handle measures 11 cm. This natural material offers a wide variety of colours and patterns.
Depending on the horn used, shades may be lighter or darker, ranging from cream and yellow to brown and black, sometimes with striking contrasts. Some handles display gentle transitions, while others feature more pronounced patterns.
Every handle is different. These variations contribute to the knife’s beauty and give each piece its own identity.
The photograph on the website illustrates the model. It does not guarantee that the knife you receive will have an identical colour or pattern. However, the materials and manufacturing specifications remain the same.
A brut de forge blade: a distinctive appearance on every knife
The blade’s brut de forge finish gives the knife a distinctive presence. Its surface contrasts with the lustre of the bolsters, backspring and bee emblem.
Visible markings and shades may vary from one blade to another. Not every blade therefore has exactly the same appearance.
Combined with the natural variations in the horn, these differences give each knife its own character. This is the charm of the model: the same design, expressed differently in every piece.
Two polished bolsters, a smooth backspring and a minimalist bee emblem
The knife features two polished stainless steel bolsters, framing the handle and highlighting its shades.
The smooth, polished stainless steel backspring continues this bright finish. The minimalist bee emblem, also in polished stainless steel, adds an understated finishing touch.
Together, these details create a harmonious design whose simple lines allow the horn and the brut de forge blade to stand out.
A rear ring with a leather lanyard
A ring attached to the rear bolster holds a leather lanyard. This detail complements the knife’s appearance and adds another contrast between metal, horn and leather.
The lanyard contributes to the personality of this model, which retains a traditional look while displaying its own distinctive finishes.
Forge de Laguiole craftsmanship in the heart of the Aubrac region
Forge de Laguiole manufactures its knives in the village of Laguiole, on the Aubrac plateau in France. The workshop preserves a tradition of knife-making rooted in this region.
This model reflects that heritage through its Aubrac cow horn handle and its combination of contrasting finishes.
