Laguiole Howlite Gold & Ebony – The Mineral Glow and the Depth of Wood
This bi-material Laguiole knife embodies the artisanal mastery of the Laguiole en Aubrac workshop, in a subtle fusion between the noble density of wood and the singular brilliance of fine stones. Of rare elegance, this Laguiole knife harmoniously combines the satin depth of ebony with the refined glow of golden howlite, creating a contrast that is both striking and sophisticated. The deep warmth of the wood meets the golden light of howlite in a composition that is both precious and contemporary.
White Howlite – Purity and Softness
White howlite, a gemstone of great purity, is recognized for its pearly white color with soft iridescent highlights. This gentle and elegant stone symbolizes light and serenity, adding a touch of delicacy to the fine stone collection used in Laguiole knife creations. It features subtle golden reflections reminiscent of the sun’s rays at dusk. With its luminous texture and dense structure, this stone becomes a precious element, offering each Laguiole knife a vibrant and unique visual signature.
A Composition Sculpted from the Materials
The full handle of the Laguiole knife integrates ebony and golden howlite in a seamless visual and tactile flow. The brass liners, hand-guilloché, continue this attention to detail underneath the knife—a signature element of the Laguiole brand. The guilloché spring and finely hand-chiseled bee further reflect the goldsmith-level craftsmanship that defines each Laguiole knife.
The brass rivets, set with meticulous precision, enhance the knife’s clean and elegant architecture. Purposefully crafted without the traditional shepherd’s cross, this model embraces a pure and sculptural aesthetic, true to the Laguiole knife’s DNA—where form and material speak for themselves, without unnecessary ornamentation.
Each Laguiole knife in this series is a one-of-a-kind piece, born of the union between the deep black of ebony, the golden light of howlite, and the nobility of guilloché brass. A Laguiole knife designed for connoisseurs seeking discreet luxury, timeless beauty, and an object rich in meaning.
Care Instructions for Your Bi-material Laguiole Knife
Your Laguiole Howlite Gold & Ebony knife is an exceptional piece. To preserve its beauty and mechanical precision over time:
Clean your Laguiole knife by hand with a slightly damp soft cloth. Dry it immediately. Never place it in the dishwasher.
Nourish the ebony handle with a drop of neutral oil (such as camellia or paraffin) to maintain its sheen.
Protect the golden howlite from impacts: while dense and beautiful, the stone remains sensitive to shock.
Apply a drop of fine oil to the pivot to ensure smooth opening.
Store your Laguiole knife in a dry place, preferably open in its case or on a display stand.
Simple care, for the lasting elegance and artisanal perfection of your Laguiole knife.
