The Jewel in golden amboina burl and Carbon Damascus steel blade : a unique piece Laguiole in Aubrac

The Bijou is a folding knife of art cutlery signed Laguiole in Aubrac. In this unique creation, it combines a golden amboina burl handle, a damask steel blade, brass bolsters and a fully chiseled copper plate.

From the first glance, the warm shades of the wood and the reflections of the metals make up a luminous whole. Then, on closer inspection, the chiseling of the spring and the forged fly reveals all the finesse of the handwork.

The golden amboina burl, a handle with a singular

design The handle gives this piece a large part of its personality. The amboina burl is distinguished by its irregular patterns, undulations and swirling designs. Here, its golden shades bring a warmth that naturally accompanies the curves of the knife.

The shaping highlights this visual richness. Thus, the eye follows the movements of the wood and discovers different details from one area of the handle to another. This natural design contributes to the singular character of the Jewel.

A soft and subtle

tricolour alliance Inspired by the harmony of a three-gold ring, the composition combines the golden reflections of brass, the pink shades of copper and the contrasting tones of damask steel.

The brass bolsters frame the neck and prolong the warmth of the amboina. Alongside them, the copper brings a complementary color that emphasizes the wood. Finally, the steel introduces a fresher note and balances the whole.

Each material thus retains its identity while participating in the same harmony.

A damask blade that extends the decoration

When the knife is opened, the damask steel blade reveals its own patterns. Its contrasting lines respond to the natural movements of the amboina burl and enrich the composition.

The decoration continues from the handle to the blade, with two different expressions: that of wood and that of worked steel. This encounter gives the Jewel a special presence, as interesting to discover open as it is closed.

A fully chiseled

copper plate The copper plate benefits from a decorative work carried out by hand on its entire decorated surface. Its reliefs follow the contour of the handle and bring additional finesse to the construction of the knife.

In addition, the pink shades of the copper emphasize the details of the chiseling. They create a warm transition between the golden amboina and the other metallic elements, while giving depth to the whole.

A very finely chiseled spring with glittering

effects The spring also receives special attention. Very finely chiseled by hand, it has small reliefs that catch the light and produce glittering effects.

When the orientation of the knife is slightly varied, these details become alternately more discreet or brighter. The decoration thus gains in relief and invites you to observe the piece from several angles to appreciate the precision of the artisanal gesture.

A forged fly with delicate

chiseling The forged fly is another strong point of this creation. Its very fine chiseling responds to the work of the spring and brings continuity to the decoration.

Each relief contributes to its expression: the contours, textures and small luminous surfaces make up a richly worked element. This attention to such a compact part of the knife gives the name Le Bijou its full meaning.

The work of a single master cutler

This unique Laguiole en Aubrac piece is handmade by a single master cutler. From start to finish, he ensures the harmony of materials, the precision of the adjustments and the consistency of the finishes.

This continuity is reflected in the décor: the work of the copper, the spring and the fly is part of the same aesthetic intention. Each detail contributes to the balance of the knife as a whole.
