Laguiole Authenticity: Forged Bee and Traditional Craftsmanship
The Fontenille Pataud brand is committed to upholding the cutlery tradition, providing a Laguiole knife of impeccable quality and authenticity.
Each knife is distinguished by its forged bee (or fly) directly integrated into the backspring—a sign of robustness and authenticity, unlike lower-end, welded models. Find versions equipped with a blade lock for secure use, or opt for traditional slipjoint models. Every knife features meticulous finishing and a perfect polish. Plus, you can make your Laguiole truly unique with the personalized engraving of your choice on the forged backspring. It's the perfect gift or a special piece for your own collection.
Every handcrafted Laguiole pocket knife is a true work of art, instantly recognizable by its traditional bee or fly emblem.
Rare Materials for a High-End Folding Knife
The excellence of Laguiole knives by Fontenille Pataud relies on the selection of noble and durable materials, worked entirely by hand in our workshops.
The blade is made from high-grade stainless steel, ensuring an impeccable edge for precise, effortless cutting. For the handle, we select raw, luxurious materials, such as exotic woods (ebony, amourette...) or Zebu horn, ensuring that each piece is unique in its lines and colors.
These folding knives are available in a standard 12 cm length (closed or open), an ideal format for daily use or discreet pocket carry. Our commitment is to provide you with a product of unmatched durability and reliability that can be passed down through generations.
