BRUYÈRE, the root wood of the tree heather is dug out after thirty to sixty years of growth. This is because the tuber, as large as a pumpkin, is first cooked and then dried again in a complex process. The burl wood is dug from the end of November. In the south of Italy, in Greece and in Algeria. The most beautiful pipe bowls are carved from briar. This is because the condensates produced during smoking are well absorbed by the pores in the wood. This is light to reddish brown, often beautifully grained and, due to mineral deposits, very hard, heat-resistant and therefore does not impair the aroma of pipe tobacco smoke.
When FORGE DE LAGUIOLE offers a model from the LUXE series, or meanwhile the COLLECTION series, it is always made by one of the best knifemakers. He demonstrates his craftsmanship in the details of the workmanship. The bee as well as the engravings on the handle, which lead all the way to the back of the blade, are evidence of great craftsmanship. Upon request, we will send you a detailed photograph of the folding knife. Embedded in it is the shepherd's cross, which originates from a rumour. In the evening, after their work was done, the shepherds would have gathered in front of the knife stuck into the ground to pay homage to their God in the face of the cross. This is how the name "the smallest chapel in the world" came about. Which was originally only the place where St Martin's cloak was kept. The term "cappa" means coat in Latin.
Natural materials vary in their appearance. Colour and grain, but also the bee and the feather are different.
