Laguiole (lag-YAWL) knives originated as a shepherd's weapon in Napoleonic France. The bee emblem at the thumb represents industriousness and was awarded where it pleased the petit generale.

Classic Laguiole steak knives with two solid stainless steel bolsters, this model is enhanced with an incrustation in the handle said to be in the shape of the Cygnus constellation that guided shephards at night. The guilloché (tooled) backspring adds a note of elegance. The famous Laguiole bee sits atop the bolster and a Fleur de Lys marks the blade.

Stainless blades, tooled back and bee. Set of six in a wood box.
