Celebrated for its refined elegance, structural strength, and meticulous hand-finishing, this luxury pocket knife represents the finest traditions of French cutlery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe term double-plated refers to the knife’s distinctive construction, where two plates reinforce the spring. This design not only enhances durability but also provides an unmistakable aesthetic. Each pair of plates is individually hand-carved by master cutlers, transforming every knife into a unique work of functional art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Feather Series\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Feather Series is a collection of four double-plated knives, each crowned with its own uniquely designed fly, so no two models in the series share the same one. On this knife, sculpted feathers flow along the spring and plates, each engraved with fine, radiating barbs and outlined by sweeping, carved lines set against a softly textured, darkened ground. The depth of the carving gives the steelwork an almost three-dimensional quality that changes with every angle of light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBee #14 is hand-carved and forged as one piece with the spring. Its wings are engraved with a delicate lattice pattern accented by tiny raised dots, and its head is finished in a fine checkered texture, a miniature sculpture set at the top of the bolster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAubrac Beechwood: From the Heart of Laguiole Country\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBeech is the signature tree of the Aubrac plateau, the high, windswept region of southern France where the Laguiole knife was born. Carrying a handle of Aubrac beechwood means holding a piece of the landscape that gave this knife its name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis handle is full of character. Warm honey, caramel, and amber tones are crossed by bold black lines and deeper chocolate shadows, with the fine natural flecks of beech visible across the surface. On one face, dark lines sweep around the traditional shepherd’s cross and curve toward each bolster; on the other, a jagged, flame-like streak of dark wood runs down the center between bands of golden grain. Because every piece of wood is different, no two handles are ever alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePaired with brushed stainless steel bolsters and stainless steel pins, the wood’s warm, earthy tones set off the cool, intricate steelwork beautifully. Each scale is hand-selected, shaped, and fitted at the Laguiole en Aubrac workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhether carried as an everyday companion, displayed in a collection, or presented as a meaningful gift, this Laguiole en Aubrac folding knife embodies generations of French craftsmanship and timeless design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForged from Sandvik 12C27 Mod stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble-plated construction with hand-filed stainless steel plates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel spring engraved with the signature Feather Series design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBee #14: unique hand-carved fly, forged with the spring from a single piece of stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAubrac beechwood handle, hand-fitted at the Laguiole en Aubrac workshop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraditional shepherd’s cross in stainless steel pins inlaid in the handle, a symbol long associated with the Aubrac shepherds who first carried the Laguiole knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrushed stainless steel bolsters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade length: 3.93 in (10 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting edge (bolster to tip): 4.75 in (12 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosed length: 4.63 in (117 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNet weight: 3.81 oz (108 gr)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Espalion, France, within the historic Laguiole region\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOak wood storage case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertificate of Authenticity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e22-page genuine Laguiole artisanal charter guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Laguiole en Aubrac","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52321487814936,"sku":"L0712IIJ14WAS","price":379.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0288\/7136\/0598\/files\/01-laguiole-en-aubrac-feather-series-double-plated-fly-14-aubrac-beechwood-open-front.jpg?v=1793491822","url":"https:\/\/laguioleenaubracshop.com\/products\/laguiole-en-aubrac-feather-series-folding-knife-double-plated-bee-14-aubrac-beechwood","provider":"Laguiole en Aubrac","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
