WIDDERHORN, the ram's headdress, is clearly visible in the cross grooves.
Non-stainless CARBON DAMAST is fused together from different blocks of metal to combine several capabilities. Hardness is for sharpness, soft steel for elasticity to yield and not break. The more layers are folded, the more expensive the result.
Processed as PLEIN MANCHE, that is, a handle without attached metal jaws. Lighter in weight, it demands the maker's highest art in the perfect finishing of the hilt. To avoid breakouts, a shepherd's cross was omitted.
LUXE stands for luxury, which is always and exclusively made by a FORGE DE LAGUIOLE master. Mostly the LUXE models - meanwhile the series is summarized under the term COLLECTION - show chasing and guillochage in goldsmith quality up to the back of the blade. Bee and nib are always forged from one piece.
Please remember, a quietly closed spring makes the knife live longer. A rattling snap sound when closing is not beneficial to the mechanism.
Horn is a natural material whose grain and coloring can vary. Likewise, the bee and the spring are individually manufactured differently.
