Laguiole design in pistachio

This Laguiole has been designed with a look that is deliberately similar to the Thiers knife. It's a wink from Auvergne. Made from 0.8 cm thick pistachio wood chips, shaped by hand to obtain its characteristic curve. The pistachio tree is native to the arid zones of central Azia. The color of this wood varies from light green to dark brown. 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 France Delivered with a certificate of origin and a lifetime warranty in a black magnetic box.
