Snake knife with damask blade – Hand-guilloché plates
The motifs of the love affair, the designs of the damask, the finesse of the craftsmanship.
A Amourette Neck with a Remarkable Character
This damask knife combines expressive wood with shiny stainless steel finishes. Its handle first catches the eye with its brown and dark red shades, punctuated by natural patterns.
Also called “snakewood”, the amourette evokes the skin of a snake by its speckled appearance. Its decoration gives a particular identity to the knife and will seduce lovers of beautiful materials.
In addition, the natural variations of the wood give each handle its own look. So you choose a piece whose shades and patterns are not identical to each other.
Hand-guilloché shiny stainless steel plates
The craftsman guilloché the shiny stainless steel plates by hand. He thus creates a decoration that enriches the lines of the knife and underlines the care devoted to the finishes.
The reflections of the metal also highlight the motifs. Their brilliance contrasts with the deep shades of the love affair and creates a refined whole.
A worked spring and a forged and chiseled fly
The spring completes the decoration of the plates, while the forged and chiseled fly in shiny stainless steel provides a distinctive detail.
These elements invite you to observe the knife from several angles. Thus, the metal work accompanies the visual richness of the handle and reinforces the artisanal character of the whole.
A damask blade with expressive patterns
The damask blade extends the aesthetics of the knife with its characteristic designs. Its patterns respond to the speckles of the love affair and the decorations of the plates.
This combination creates a piece rich in details, where wood and steel enhance each other. It will particularly appeal to cutlery enthusiasts and collectors sensitive to beautiful finishes.
A shepherd’s cross on the left side
On the left side of the handle, the shepherd’s cross brings a discreet traditional touch. It completes the natural décor of the love affair and recalls the aesthetics of Laguiole cutlery.
This detail adds a note of authenticity to the whole.
A great gift idea for an enthusiast
With its flush handle, its damask blade and its hand-guilloché plates, this knife combines expressive materials and careful decorative work.
For a birthday or a special occasion, offer a piece that invites you to appreciate the beauty of wood and the finesse of steel patterns.

The photo is not contractual. The shades and patterns of the in-bloom handle may vary. Similarly, the guilloché and fly may differ from those shown in the photograph.
Each knife can therefore reveal a different combination of details, while maintaining the advertised characteristics.
