One of the finest and most wanted penknives on the market

Before the creation of the Laguiole pocket knife, farmers were using simple cutting tools with a fixed blade. Those were simply used as an eating tool or for farming. The switchblade emerged with the developed civilisation and requirements for better cutting tools. This product is fairly small when its blade is closed, and thus fits perfectly in small compartments. Also known as the “Jackknife”, various models have been manufactured and one of the best on the market is the Laguiole pocket knife, a French-made artisanal masterpiece! This product features neat finishes and a symbolic bee that cannot go unnoticed. Manufactured in high-end raw materials such as stainless steel for the blade and exotic wood or other quality materials for its handle, this piece of art is simply charming. Being more and more adopted by expert cooks and collectors, the patterns of this French-made switchblade can either be traditional or contemporary.
