Light horn is a beautiful and distinctive handle material used in Forge de Laguiole products, sourced from the Cebu cow, a breed known for its sturdy, high-quality horns. The colour and grain of light horn can vary widely, ranging from pale cream to warm amber tones, often with unique, swirling patterns that make each piece one-of-a-kind. This natural material is prized not only for its beauty but also for its durability and tactile feel, making it a refined choice for those who appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship behind every Forge de Laguiole creation.
Forge de Laguiole Edition Folding Knife – Light Horn, High Polish Finish and Source Spring
Experience the artistry of true French craftsmanship with the Forge de Laguiole Edition Range Folding Knife with Light Horn handle, handcrafted entirely in the village of Laguiole, France.
This model features the distinguished “Source” guilloche pattern, finely hand-chiselled along the spring, and a hand-sculpted bee, each individually shaped by skilled artisans — a testament to Laguiole’s centuries-old tradition. Every component is made under one roof, ensuring the precision and authenticity that define Forge de Laguiole.
The 12 cm knife is fitted with brass plates that enhance balance and elegance, perfectly complementing the light horn handle, admired for its luminous tones and natural variations. Finished with a high-polish blade, this folding knife captures the harmony of sophistication, performance, and enduring French artistry.
The Edition range celebrates the union of nature and craftsmanship, transforming each knife into a piece of functional art. As every handle is made from genuine natural material, subtle differences in colour and pattern make each knife completely unique.
The size indicated refers to the knife in its closed position (12 cm).
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.
