Luxury Laguiole Le Fidèle Pocket Knife with Double Plates and Olive Wood Handle
A Masterpiece with Double Plates
What distinguishes this knife from standard models is the construction with so-called double plates. This means that two metal liners are inserted on each side of the spring instead of one. This solution not only increases the strength and weight of the knife but, above all, allows the knifemakers to create more complex and deeper decorative engraving (guilloché) on the handle spine, which is done by hand. The result is a fascinating pattern stretching along the entire length of the spine to the blade.
The 10 cm (3.94 inches) blade is made of high-quality Swedish Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel. This steel is the ideal choice for its high corrosion resistance and ability to hold a keen edge. On the blade, you will find the engraving of the brand Laguiole Le Fidèle and the origin mark France, guaranteeing authenticity.
Symbolism and Materials
- Olive Wood: The scales are made from the wood of the Mediterranean olive tree. This wood is hard, durable, and characterized by a beautiful, contrasting grain. It is a symbol of peace and longevity.
- The Bee (Mouche): A typical feature is the so-called "fly" or bee on the spine of the spring. On this luxury model, the bee is forged directly from the spring material (not welded on), which is a sign of the highest quality.
- The Shepherd's Cross: The rivets on the handle form the symbol of a cross (Croix du berger). According to legend, it served shepherds in the Aubrac mountains as a substitute for an altar during prayers in nature.
Care and Maintenance
This knife is a jewel, not a tool for rough work. Never wash it in a dishwasher! Heat and chemicals would destroy the wood and the mechanism. After use, especially after cutting acidic foods, clean and dry the knife. Occasionally lubricate the pivot and treat the wooden handle with oil. The knife mechanism is of the Slipjoint type (non-locking), with the blade held by a strong spring. When closing, do not let the blade "snap" shut, but close it gently so the edge does not hit the internal spring (silent closing saves the edge).
