Laguiole Jasper & Ebony – A Precious Mineral Harmony
This dual-material Laguiole folding knife embodies artisanal excellence and the subtle alliance between mineral and noble wood. Strikingly elegant, it boldly pairs deep, satin-finished ebony with red jasper streaked with golden filaments, creating a refined and dramatic contrast. The dark warmth of the wood meets the dazzling flashes of the stone, forming a composition as powerful as it is enigmatic — a union of earthly strength and solar brilliance.
Jasper, a decorative stone from the microcrystalline quartz family, is renowned for its density, hardness, and richly varied natural patterns.
The red jasper featured here stands out with deep tones and golden veins, evoking Martian landscapes laced with molten gold — a captivating and durable material shaped by time.
The full-handle design brings these two materials together in perfect visual and tactile continuity. The hand-guilloché brass liners extend along the spine and underside of the knife, revealing goldsmith-level craftsmanship that is as pleasing to the eye as to the touch. The guilloché spring blends delicately with the whole, while the hand-chiseled bee asserts the unique identity of this exceptional Laguiole piece.
Each brass assembly rivet is inserted with meticulous precision. This dual-material Laguiole, intentionally crafted without a shepherd’s cross, embraces a clean and sculptural aesthetic that highlights its lines and materials without superfluous ornament.
This Laguiole knife is far more than a mere object: it is a sculpted contrast, a dialogue between the black density of ebony, the mineral radiance of golden jasper, and the artisanal nobility of guilloché brass.
A Laguiole of true character, crafted for discerning connoisseurs seeking discreet luxury and timeless mineral beauty.
Caring for Your Dual-Material Laguiole Knife
Your Laguiole Jasper & Ebony is an exceptional object. To preserve its beauty and longevity:
-
Clean it by hand using a soft, slightly damp cloth. Dry immediately. Never place it in a dishwasher.
-
Occasionally nourish the ebony handle with a touch of neutral oil (such as camellia or paraffin oil).
-
Protect the jasper stone from impacts — it is hard, but may chip if dropped.
-
Apply a drop of fine oil to the pivot for smooth opening and closing.
-
Store your knife in a dry place, ideally open in its sheath or on a dedicated stand.
Simple care for a Laguiole that will last a lifetime.
