Laguiole Turquoise & Ebony – Mineral Brilliance and Wood’s Depth
This bi-material folding Laguiole knife embodies the artisanal expertise of the Laguiole house in Aubrac, in a subtle fusion between the noble density of wood and the radiance of fine stones. Of rare elegance, this folding Laguiole knife pairs the satin depth of ebony with the gleam of turquoise streaked with gold, creating a contrast both striking and refined. The warmth of the wood perfectly balances the luminous reflections of the stone, resulting in a precious and contemporary composition.
Turquoise – A Celestial and Living Stone
An ornamental stone prized since Antiquity, turquoise is admired for its vibrant hues, ranging from deep blue to celadon green. The golden turquoise selected here features natural gold filaments that illuminate its surface like a sky pierced by light. This lively and expressive stone gives each Laguiole knife a unique soul.
A Composition Sculpted in Materials
The full handle of this folding Laguiole knife embraces ebony and turquoise in a seamless visual and tactile continuity. The brass bolsters, hand-guilloché, extend this pursuit of detail even underneath the knife—a signature of Laguiole creations. The guilloché spring and the finely hand-chiseled “fly” further showcase master craftsmanship, characteristic of every Laguiole knife.
The brass rivets, meticulously placed, strengthen the knife’s sober and elegant structure. Intentionally without the traditional shepherd’s cross, this model affirms a pure, sculptural aesthetic faithful to the DNA of the folding Laguiole: letting the lines and materials speak for themselves, without unnecessary decoration.
Each Laguiole in this series is a unique piece, born from the encounter of ebony’s deep black density, the luminous energy of golden turquoise, and the artisanal nobility of guilloché brass. A Laguiole knife designed for connoisseurs seeking discreet luxury, timeless beauty, and a meaningful object.
Care for Your Folding Laguiole Knife
Your Turquoise & Ebony Laguiole is an exceptional piece. To preserve its beauty and mechanical function over time:
-
Clean your Laguiole knife by hand with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Dry immediately. Never put it in the dishwasher.
-
Nourish the ebony handle with a drop of neutral oil (camellia or paraffin) to maintain its shine.
-
Protect the turquoise from shocks: although beautiful and dense, this stone is sensitive to impacts.
-
Apply a drop of fine oil to the folding Laguiole’s pivot for smooth opening.
-
Store your Laguiole in a dry place, preferably open in its sheath or displayed on a stand.
Simple care to ensure the lasting mineral elegance and artisanal perfection of your Laguiole knife.
