Forge de Laguiole Birds Marquetry Folding Knife

Laguiole's marquetry models are made in collaboration with a local craftsman. These decorative inlay patterns are made of contrasting precious wood and represent special designs. These models are highly appreciated by hunters, fishers, water and sport lovers. Each knife in this series is 11 cm, featuring a single blade, 2 brass bolsters, and the marquetry handle.

In the mountains of south-central France, in the town of Laguiole, a tradition of manufacturing the country's finest knives has existed for centuries. The town's steak knives are a favorite gift at French weddings, as much a standard of excellence and source of pride as wine is in Bordeaux. This long standing reputation for quality is evident in a superbly crafted line of corkscrews. First appearing in 1880, these distinctive corkscrews have been hand assembled in many variations by the town's artisans. We have selected the most elegant of these hand crafted tools for your use. If you do not see what you are looking for, please contact us, as many other items can be special ordered.

All pieces are forged, stamped, flattened, hardened, honed, burnished and sharpened to the highest of standards. Handles are constructed from a variety of finishes. These tools are both seamless in design and functionality. This is the one corkscrew that could be used everyday with delight and passed on with pride as an heirloom. Each Laguiole comes with a certificate of authenticity and a leather case. To read more about Forge-de-Laguiole, click here.
