A tree that never fades: the Laguiole en Aubrac with Tree of Life motif pairs centuries-old cutlery craftsmanship from the Aveyron with a symbol of permanence and growth. The scales are made from black-dyed, stabilized poplar burl, a wood that comes alive through its irregular grain, with deep black zones alternating with grey, translucent fibers so that no two knives share the same pattern. The brass liners are hand-guilloché, a craft technique in which fine, crossing lines are etched into the metal by hand, lending the blade a warm, refined contrast against the dark wood. The "mouche" (fly), forged directly out of the backspring, carries the engraved Tree of Life motif on this model, marking the distinctive ornamental point that has always set a Laguiole apart. The blade in stainless 12C27MOD steel is built as a classic slipjoint with no lock, staying true to the tradition of the original Laguiole pocket knife.
