Acrylic is a vibrant and durable handle material used in Forge de Laguiole products, known for its striking colours and long-lasting quality. This synthetic material is available in a wide range of colours for a unique and eye-catching appearance. The rich, glossy finish of acrylic enhances its colour depth, creating a visually stunning effect that stands out.
Acrylic is also highly durable, offering excellent resistance to moisture, and wear over time. Due to its resilience and aesthetic appeal, acrylic is a popular choice for those seeking a modern, functional material that also brings a pop of colour to their Forge de Laguiole collection.
Whether used for knives, corkscrews, or other items, acrylic handles combine bold design with the durability needed for everyday use, making them a favourite for those who want a unique and lasting piece of craftsmanship.
After more than a year and a half of perfecting a new technological process and an inspiring collaboration with a self-taught artist known for their vibrant colors and graphics, the SEIZE HAPPYWALLMAKER knife by Forge de Laguiole was born. This hand-made Laguiole knife incorporates a cutting-edge technique called “sublimation,” which allows us to print unique patterns on a white acrylic handle. This innovation modernizes the traditional Forge de Laguiole knife while maintaining its craftsmanship.
The 11 cm model, featuring a high polish finish and a blade engraved with the artist's signature, showcases four distinct motifs inspired by the names of stars. Each star's star map, drawn on the knife, guides the way to reach them. The Altaïr design is featured here, with other models available, including Vega, Sirius, and Antares.
I was pleasantly surprised when my knife arrived. I knew they looked great online, but seeing the quality, and standard of finish in front of me was next level! Beautifully sharpened too. Very tempted to buy another one if I'm honest! Great work, and thanks again.
Beautiful, craftmanship. I can't keep my hands off it. It's a real fidget. will be something I carry for the rest of my life. Thank you Forge de Laguiole.
Hi Torsten,
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review and we are so glad you love your folding knife! It has been a pleasure to assist you with your purchase and we appreciate your kind review.
I’ve had a penknife in my pocket pretty much my whole life. I‘m retiring next month and I thought I’d buy myself a reward for 40 plus years at the grindstone. I selected a 12 cm briar handled model and I’m absolutely delighted with my ‘retirement pressie’ - so much better than a gold watch!! I’ve had many, many knives over the years and this is without doubt the very best I’ve had in my pocket ever. I’m looking forward to many years using it - gardening, fishing and opening up my grandchildren’s presents….
Bravo Laguoile Forge - fantastic.
Absolutely beautiful knife.
I got this for my fathers 70th birthday, and had it engraved with his initials. although it took approximately 6 weeks for the engraved one (1 week without) it was definitely worth it, and my dad loved it!
Rachel also kept me well informed of the timelines and provided all options for customisation.
