STORY

Carried by the shepherds and cattlemen of the Aubrac region in France, our Laguiole en Aubrac Shepherd’s Knife for Best Made holds 160 years of Laguiole history. With finely shaped cow bone scales accented by red liners and a Sandvick 12c27 stainless cutlery steel blade, our Laguiole en Aubrac Shepherd’s Knife is both elegant and practical. The handle material references the knife’s pastoral lineage, and it is said the handle pins were arranged for traveling pilgrims to always have a cross to pray to. Though just about any knife will slice through cheese or a wild mushroom stalk, our Laguiole en Aubrac Shepherd’s Knife carries a cultural history that only the highest level of craftsmanship can pay tribute to. The truest testament to the French cutlers’ skill is the Imperial Bee stamp on the spring head, a mark that traces back to Napoleon himself.
