Densified ash is a remarkable and durable material used for handles in Forge de Laguiole products. Sourced from the ash tree, typically found in temperate regions of Europe, North America, and parts of Asia, densified ash is specially treated to enhance its strength and resilience. The process of densification compresses the wood, making it denser, harder, and more durable than regular ash, giving it exceptional longevity.
The wood has a light-brown colour with subtle variations and a straight, uniform grain that adds a sophisticated and contemporary touch to any piece. One of its key attributes is its water resistance. Densified ash is often used in high-end furniture and flooring due to its ability to withstand wear and tear while retaining its beautiful appearance.
Designed by the renowned French chefs André and Michel Bras, the Forge de Laguiole Capuchadou Table Knives are a tribute to the rich culinary heritage of the Aveyron region. Known for their innovative approach to French cuisine and their commitment to authenticity, the Bras duo has collaborated with Forge de Laguiole to create a knife that seamlessly blends tradition with modern design.
The Capuchadou Table Knife draws inspiration from the original shape of the first knife to have been created in the region, paying homage to the historical roots of Aveyron craftsmanship. The knife’s densified ash tree handle, paired with a distinctive brass ring, brings a sense of authenticity and originality to your table. Its sturdy handle ensures a comfortable, ergonomic grip, making it not only a visual delight but also a functional piece of art.
In addition to its striking design, the Capuchadou Table Knife is built for practicality. It is water-resistant, ensuring easy maintenance and longevity, keeping the knife looking pristine through years of use.
A perfect blend of history, style, and innovation, the Forge de Laguiole Capuchadou Table Knives offer a unique, timeless addition to any dining setting.
