Make It Uniquely Yours
Forge de Laguiole takes pride in producing pieces that honour tradition while giving you five ways to make it yours.
#1: Handle Material
From elegant woods to noble horn, each handle is shaped from a genuine, natural material. Chosen by you, finished by hand.
#2: Bee
Select either a traditional stamped bee or a hand-chiselled bee. Both are iconic, but only one is chiselled by a master cutler.
#3: Finish
Whether you prefer a soft satin or a mirror-like high polish, your choice defines the character and feel in hand.
#4: Blade
Opt for the clean precision of a standard blade, or make a bold statement with a Damascus steel blade.
#5: Lever
Choose from a sleek standard lever, a decorative pattern, or personalise it with your initials or name, engraved just for you.

Aubrac Cow Horn
Sourced from the iconic Aubrac cattle of southern France, this natural horn features warm cream to deep caramel tones, often streaked with soft amber and honey shades, giving the handle a rich, organic elegance.
Select
Bone
Smooth and subtly textured, cow bone presents a soft ivory base with gentle variations in cream and pale beige, accented with subtle marbling and gentle tonal variations that reflect the material’s organic origin.
Select
Dark Horn
Distinguished by a deep, lustrous surface, dark horn reveals a palette of espresso, charcoal, and black, softly veined with smoke-grey. The mix of tones creates a natural depth and richness that feels both bold and timeless.
Select
Deer Antler
Deer antler handles are left with a textured surface, with ridges and patterns that highlight its character. Cream, tan, and warm brown tones merge in organic patterns, giving each piece a rugged elegance rooted in nature.
Select
Light Horn
Light horn has a polished, silky surface with colours ranging from pale cream to golden honey and soft amber. Delicate translucent areas and subtle streaking create a gentle play of light and depth across the handle.
Select
Bark Fossilized Oak
Bark of fossilised oak carries a dramatic, weathered texture, its surface marked by the rugged lines of ancient growth. Rich shades of deep brown, charcoal, and earthy grey reveal the wood’s 5,000-year journey, creating a striking link to the past.
Select
Barrel Oak
Barrel oak carries the warm, time-worn character of seasoned wine casks. Its surface shows a fine, even grain in golden to medium brown tones, with the surface left flat to show the subtle wine-stained hues that hint at its past life in the cellar.
Select
Birch
Birch wood has a smooth, even grain with a naturally light, creamy tone. Subtle variations of pale gold and soft beige give it a fresh, clean appearance, enhanced by its gentle, satiny sheen. Its bright, refined look brings a sense of lightness and elegance.
Select
Briar
Briar has a warm, reddish-brown base with intricate, swirling grain patterns that create a sense of movement across the surface. Its dense structure and natural luster give it both visual richness and a refined, enduring appeal. A subtle variation in tone adds depth, making each piece distinct in character.
Select
Ebony
Ebony has a deep, almost black base with a smooth, polished surface and an understated natural grain. Its dense composition and lustrous finish give it a sleek, sophisticated appearance that exudes timeless elegance. A subtle warmth in tone emerges under the light, adding depth to its dark beauty.
Select
Heart Fossilized Oak
Heart of fossilised oak reveals the dense, smooth core of an ancient tree preserved for around 5,000 years. Deep shades of chocolate brown to near-black are enriched with subtle tonal shifts and fine grain, giving the material a rich, polished appearance steeped in history.
Select
Juniper
Juniper has a pale golden base dotted with naturally occurring dark speckles that give it a lively, distinctive appearance. Its fine grain and gentle colour variations create a fresh, organic look, while the wood carries a subtle, aromatic quality from its natural oils.
Select
Olivewood
Olivewood displays a golden base enriched with flowing, darker grain lines that create striking, irregular patterns. Its smooth surface and warm, honeyed tones give the material a vibrant yet timeless character, enhanced by the natural contrast between light and dark streaks.
Select
Pistachio
Pistachio wood has a warm, golden base with soft green undertones and irregular streaks of darker brown. The contrast in colour can be striking, with some pieces appearing very bright, others quite dark, or a captivating mix of both.
Select
Rosewood
Rosewood has a rich, reddish-brown base infused with darker streaks that flow in elegant, linear patterns. The natural contrast between its warm undertones and deep grain markings gives the material a sense of depth and sophistication.
Select
Snakewood
Snakewood has a warm reddish-brown base patterned with dense, dark markings that resemble the scales of a snake. Its striking, high-contrast grain creates a bold, decorative appearance that stands out as one of the most distinctive exotic woods.
Select
Thuya
Thuya has a warm golden-brown base marked with a dense pattern of small, dark eyes unique to its burl formation. The intricate, high-contrast grain creates a rich, almost mosaic-like effect that gives the material an unmistakable sense of luxury.
Select
Walnut
Walnut has a rich medium-brown base with subtle golden undertones and a fine, flowing grain. Gentle variations in tone and pattern give the material a warm, classic character that feels both refined and timeless.
Select
Winestock
Winestock shows the gnarled, time-worn character of old grapevine wood, with a tight, irregular grain and natural knots. Warm chestnut and deep brown tones are streaked with darker veins, creating a richly textured, heritage look.
Select
