🔪 Handcrafted hunting knife – a unique creation of a master knifemaker
This full-handled folding hunting knife in Aubrac wood is a unique piece, designed, made and adjusted entirely by a single master cutler.
From the very first stages, the craftsman selects his materials with high standards, then he shapes each element by hand until the final assembly. Thanks to this approach, it ensures consistent quality, perfect precision and a true handcrafted signature.
Thus, this knife is aimed at hunting enthusiasts as well as lovers of beautiful pieces, bringing together performance, elegance and artisanal heritage.
🌳 Aubrac wood handle – authenticity and character
The handle is made of Aubrac wood, a local species directly linked to the Laguiole region, a mecca of French cutlery.
This wood has remarkable characteristics:
- Rich, contrasting natural veining
- Warm and lively shades
- An identity deeply linked to the terroir
Thus, each handle has a unique design, which makes each knife:
👉 totally singular and non-reproducible
In addition, this material offers excellent ergonomics, guaranteeing a comfortable and balanced grip, perfectly suited for use in hunting.
🪙 Inlay of a rare coin: Napoleon I laurel head half-franc in silver (1809) – State TTB
This knife incorporates a real silver coin, namely a half-franc Napoleon I laureate head from 1809, preserved in TTB (Very Very Beautiful) condition and carefully chosen for its quality.
🔍 A prized historical piece
The Napoleon I half-franc is an essential reference of the First Empire.
In its laurel head version, the emperor is represented crowned with laurels, a symbol of victory and power.
Thus, the 1809 vintage, associated with this state of preservation, particularly attracts collectors and history lovers.
📊 An APC status that guarantees value
The TTB classification means that:
- The reliefs remain clearly visible
- wear is regular and moderate
- The essential elements remain legible
As a result, this coin retains a real numismatic value, higher than that of the more altered copies.
💎 A strong heritage dimension
Thanks to this integration, the knife acquires a range far beyond its use:
- ✔️ Each currency is unique
- ✔️ More than two centuries of history integrated
- ✔️ A true collector’s value
- ✔️ Enhanced rarity
Thus, it becomes a meeting between art cutlery and historical heritage.
🏆 A rare piece in a unique piece
👉 A piece of history integrated into a unique creation
⚙️ High-end handcrafted finishes
Each element is worked with care, which translates into:

Thus, the whole reflects a high level of requirement and a mastered know-how.
🐝 Exceptional forged fly: a finely crafted bee
The fly immediately catches the eye thanks to its remarkable work. The cutler shapes a delicately sculpted bee, then sublimates it with a satin finish.
Every detail is chiseled with precision, revealing meticulous work and great technical mastery.
👑 Imperial inspiration
The bee, a symbol associated with Napoleon, represents order, permanence and rebirth.
Thus, it is perfectly in line with the spirit of the knife, in direct connection with the Napoleon I piece integrated into the handle.
📜 Napoleonic legends: an unproven history
Tradition has it that Napoleon I authorized the inhabitants of Laguiole to display the bee, in recognition of an act of bravery.
