Laguiole design birch wood

This Laguiole has been designed with a look that is deliberately similar to the Thiers knife. It's a wink from Auvergne. Made from 2 0.8 cm thick birch wood slabs, shaped by hand to obtain its characteristic curve. Birch generally grows at high altitudes or in the arctic on acidic and humid soils. They can live to be 100 years or more. 2 stainless steel plates are engine-turned then riveted between the spring and the handle to ensure better closing flexibility and solidity in use. Blade in 12C27 steel (surgical stainless steel) with a thickness of 3 mm at the heel and a hardness of 56-57 Hrc. It is blunted (removal of beveled material) then sharpened and sharpened. The Spring and Bee are forged from the same piece of steel (Z20C13) then tempered and chiseled with a file. A blade stopper is fixed on the spring to prevent the blade from dulling when closing. Closed size: 12 cm Open size: 23 cm Knife made entirely in Thiers in FranceDelivered with a certificate of origin and a lifetime warranty in a black magnetic box.
