Indulge in the pride of ownership from the Gilles® Fontenille Pataud collection and own a piece of exquisite French-made artistry.

Technical aspects: The exquisite 12 cm Laguiole knife is adorned with a forged bee, a full-length hand chiseled spring, and the renowned shepherd's cross (see photos). 

Guilloche: The Guilloché series features additional chiseling of the spring, liners (top & bottom), and the entire blade top edge.

What is a Forged Bee? Check below where the bee and spring meet to detect a forged bee. They were likely forged from the same metal if there were no gaps. Conversely, a straight ridge or gap where the bee connects with the spring suggests the bee was soldered.

A 12 cm Laguiole folding knife can be used as a steak knife; its open length is 8. 3/4" vs. ~9" for a standard steak knife. Why use such a knife at the dinner table or your favorite steak house? Check out our article (new tab) for the surprising answer.
