Made from plant-based materials, black vegetal fibre is highly resilient, offering excellent resistance to wear, moisture, and the effects of everyday use. Its dark, rich colour gives it an elegant, timeless appeal.
Designed by the acclaimed French designer Christian Ghion, the Forge de Laguiole Christian Ghion Table Knives are a masterful fusion of classic French cutlery traditions and contemporary elegance. With an impeccable high-polish finish and a sophisticated black vegetal fiber handle, these knives embody both style and functionality.
Christian Ghion, known for his minimalist yet deeply expressive designs, created this knife with the intention of elevating the dining experience at home and in the finest gastronomy settings. As Ghion puts it, “I imagined this knife to 'serve' the table at home as well as in gastronomy.” From the side, it retains the signature sharp, flawless Forge de Laguiole blade, while from above, it evokes the rounded lines of traditional French cutlery, symbolizing the country’s revered "Art de la table."
The "L'Universel" name reflects the knife’s rich identity—a perfect blend of classic and modern elements that enhances both contemporary and classic table settings.
