French "Arto" Laguiole Seahorse Logo Prestige Series
Handmade Wooden Handle Folding Knife + Leather Pouch
Item Description
Handcrafted folding knife in the tiny village of Laguiole, France by the french
Atelier ARTO knife forge - classic Laguiole style from the Prestige Series.
Laguioles of the Prestige Series are excellent crafted pocket knives.
They are 100% made by hand. As a sign of their authenticity, they
present on the blade the seahorse - old emblem of the ARTO cutlery.
Laguiole pattern knives are the most famous of the French regional style knives originating
in the early / mid 19th century with the current footprint being established in the 1860's
as a blend of local straight bladed 'laguiole droit' and the Spanish navaja folders which
the story goes were introduced to the region from seasonally migrating French
shepherds who brought them back from Spain after the winter months.
There are plenty of stories told about the bee or mouche (fly) design on
the backspring as well as the cross shaped pins on the handle.
Blade made of high qualitative Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel.
Handle made of forged stainless steel linings and bolsters with
ebony wooden scales. Traditional Shepherd's cross inlayed.
Legend reports the shepherds of the Central Massif used their knife in the
ground to pray, this cross remains a characteristic sign of the Laguiole knife.
Hand chiseled and forged spring. The traditional bee is solid and forged
into the spring. The spring and bee are then hand-chased with a file.
This denotes artisan quality, unlike inexpensive mass market
products that have welded springs and are machine decorated.
The blade of the knife is engraved with: LAGUIOLE
and the brand logo of the company - a seahorse.
The ricasso of the blade is stamped on the one side with: 12C27, FRANCE.
Nail nick opening. Slipjoint locking mechanism.
Complete with black leather pouch for storage.
The knife is in overall excellent preserved pre-owned condition with
some very slight traces of usage and scratches on the blade.
The spring of the knife is strong and tight.
The blade is firmly attached to the handle without any play.
