Personalised engraving adds meaning and individuality — perfect for gifts, milestones, or simply making your piece truly your own.
On corkscrews, engraving is only available on the Standard Lever. If you opt for personalised engraving, your corkscrew will be made to order in France with your chosen name, initials, date, or message.
You may select from two engraving methods:
- Surface Laser Engraving (free or charge) – Any font is possible. Please add “Surface laser engraving” in the notes section of your order. We will be in contact to receive a PDF of your chosen design (we are happy to help you produce this if needed).
- Deep Laser Engraving (an additional $45) - Any font is possible. Please add “Deep laser engraving” in the notes section of your order. We will be in contact to receive a PDF of your chosen design (we are happy to help you produce this if needed).
After placing your order, we will contact you directly to confirm your engraving details, font options, and placement. Our team will guide you through the process to ensure the result is exactly as you envision.
🕰 Please note: All engraving — whether surface or deep — is carried out at the Forge de Laguiole factory in France.
Lead time: up to 6 weeks.

Forge de Laguiole Collection Folding Knife – Stabilised Curly Birch
Experience the mastery of French knife-making with this exceptional Forge de Laguiole Collection Range folding knife, meticulously handcrafted from start to finish by a single artisan in the village of Laguiole, France.
This 12 cm model showcases a stabilised curly birch handle — admired for its intricate grain and enduring strength — accented with a subtle black inlay that enhances its natural depth. Every component is crafted under one roof, ensuring perfect harmony between form, balance, and precision.
True to Laguiole tradition, it features a hand-sculpted bee and finely chiseled guilloche work along the spring, steel and brass double plates, each pattern individually engraved by the same maker who shaped and assembled the knife itself. The satin finish offers a refined matte sheen, combining understated elegance with exceptional durability — a true mark of French craftsmanship.
A remarkable expression of artistry and tradition, this piece is more than a knife — it is a work of art to be admired, used and cherished. A perfect addition for any discerning collector seeking authenticity and timeless French craftsmanship.
Due to the natural materials used, each handle is unique and may vary slightly in colour and pattern, making every piece truly one of a kind.
An absolutely beautiful forever gift! My partner was in awe or receiving this treasure. Rachel was amazing to communicate with on customising the two pieces we purchased. Highly recommend the set!
Great product! Feels very sturdy and very well made. So good I bought a corkscrew afterwards!
Lovely quality, solid as per real one (have 11cm Starck special edition for the last 25 years). Practical for checking deliveries at work where knifes are not allowed..just a keyring!
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.
