In keeping with their distinguished tradition, Laguiole en Aubrac meticulously crafts each knife, celebrated for its sophisticated design and exceptional craftsmanship. Among these, the Laguiole Knife featuring a ‘Fleur de Lys’ in pewter Inlay on a black ebony handle stands out, blending premium materials with artistic finesse.
A journey through the Loire châteaux or the pages of French history reveals the lily’s royal symbolism, akin to the scallop shell of the Camino de Santiago, marking paths and castles with its presence.
The ‘Fleur de Lys,’ emblematic of French royalty, is steeped in legends dating back to Clovis, who, after a pivotal victory, reportedly adopted the symbol. It flourished as a royal emblem under Louis VII, its image of three golden lilies on a blue field becoming synonymous with French sovereignty. Although its official status was revoked post-Revolution, the ‘Fleur de Lys’ remains a potent symbol of France’s regal past.

Ebony wood:
Ebony wood, renowned for its deep black or rich black/brown hue, is accentuated by delicate stripes that reveal a captivating texture, appealing to both the eye and touch.
Upon meticulous crafting, the ebony surface transforms, becoming exceptionally smooth and displaying a sheen that highlights its fine quality. However, the allure of ebony extends far beyond its visual charm.
This rare and luxurious wood is distinguished by its substantial density and formidable strength, traits that contribute to its sought-after age-resistant quality. The choice of ebony, therefore, is not merely a statement of style but a commitment to quality, tradition, and the timeless elegance inherent in items that endure both in form and function.
