This Laguiole folding knife features a handle shaped from the tip of zebu horn — the densest and strongest section of the horn. Carefully selected for its robustness and polished to a high gloss, it displays natural transparency, flowing curves and unique colour variations ranging from pale honey to deep brown or near-black. Each handle stands apart, reflecting the organic origin of the material.
Hand-engraved plates and gleaming stainless steel bolsters frame the handle with understated elegance. The Balbach Damascus blade is forged from layered stainless steel, folded and heat-welded to create fluid, mineral-inspired patterns embedded within the steel itself — never etched. Entirely handmade in France, this knife pairs exceptional performance with refined aesthetics, making it an ideal choice for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Damascus Blades: A Heritage of Craftsmanship and Modern Excellence
A Damascus blade is far more than a simple cutting tool — it embodies an ancient craft perfected over more than two millennia. First developed in ancient India and later refined throughout the Middle East, this technique involves layering steels with different properties, forge-welding them under intense heat, and repeatedly folding and hammering the metal. The outcome is a blade that combines strength, flexibility and remarkable sharpness. Its distinctive wave-like patterns, reminiscent of natural mineral formations, are forged into the steel itself, ensuring that each blade is entirely unique.
Historically, Damascus steel was susceptible to rust and needed frequent maintenance. Thanks to advances in metallurgy — particularly by forges such as Balbach in Germany — it is now possible to create stainless Damascus blades. These retain their captivating forged patterns while providing excellent resistance to everyday corrosion. Modern Damascus truly offers the best of both worlds: the noble tradition of hand-forging and the innovation of contemporary steel craftsmanship.
