The particularly elaborate bee adorns the back of the knife of the folding cutting tool.
VIRGILIO MUNOZ CABALLERO, born in Spain in 1955, received the "Meilleur Ouvrier de France" award back in 1986. A kind of French Cross of Merit for outstanding craftsmanship. Each of his knives is unique, as collectors seek and value. Made from the finest raw materials. MUNOZ shows a strong attachment to the art of knifemaking in the Aveyron region. He has cultivated his skills to the highest level over many years, always striving to maintain a balance between tradition and new creation. From 1994, MUNOZ was in the service of the Forge de Laguiole, where for many years he was one of the best in the guild worldwide, together with Stephane Rambaud, 13 years his junior.
Bees have four wings, a wasp's waist, and a weir stinger. However, only the females. The bees' hairs, especially on the legs or underside of the abdomen, are used to transport pollen. These simply stick to it when touched. The pollen provides the hymenoptera with protein. According to Greenpeace, the value of the annual pollination service worldwide is around 265 billion dollars. We should keep this in mind more often. Not just on May 20, World Bee Day.
