Folding Knife Barrel Oak Handle and Stainless Steel Bolsters - IG (Indication Géographique)

Forge de Laguiole® IG (Indication Géographique) Folding Knife – Barrel Oak Handle & Stainless Steel Bolsters

The Forge de Laguiole® Folding Knife from the Tradition-Range embodies the perfect fusion of heritage, craftsmanship, and cutting-edge performance. A true symbol of French artistry, this folding knife is more than just a tool, it is a timeless companion built to last for generations.

This specific model is distinguished by its unique history and rustic character. It features a handle crafted from repurposed Oak barrels, originally used in the aging of fine French wines. To preserve the wood's storied past, the handle is designed with a distinctive flat surface, allowing the authentic wine stain to remain visible. This natural coloration serves as a beautiful, deep-hued reminder of the wood’s previous life in the cellar. The seasoned oak is elegantly framed by solid Stainless Steel, resulting in an aesthetic that is both functional and deeply evocative of French culture.

The blade and bolsters are hot-forged from French T14 steel, a material developed exclusively for Forge de Laguiole®. This proprietary process ensures an exceptional cutting edge, easy sharpening and remarkable structural integrity.
