This is a beautiful Forge de Laguiole foldingknife. It is about 8¾" long when opened. It has what appear to be the Thuya burl wood contoured handle with the pin in the design of the Cross. Thuya wood is native to Morocco. It has the stainless plain edged blade with the words "FORGE DE LAGUIOLE" on the side with "LAGUIOLE ORIGINE GARANTIE T12" on the tang. It has the signature bee on the etched top strap. These are very handy and extremely well built knives.... From what i found online, these knives are handmade in the village of Laguiole, France. Each Forge de Laguiole collector's series knife features a forged bee. Additionally, each bee is individually hand chiseled and registered to each craftsman. The spring and blade top are entirely hand filed. Each knife is completed by the same artisan to ensure pride in the completed piece. The Forge de Laguiole workshop is located in the tiny village of Laguiole, France - Pop. 1300 - where the Laguiole knife first appeared in the early 1800's. This knife is in excellent conditionand appears to have been carried or used very little but please make yourown assessment from the pictures.→ You will receive the exact item in the pictures.
