Laguiole en Aubrac Folding Knife L0512 series
The L0512 Full Handle series strips the classic Laguiole down to its purest line. With no stainless steel bolsters at either end, the handle material runs uninterrupted from the spring to the tip of the handle, so the natural beauty of the teak burl becomes the whole story. Forged, fitted and finished by hand in Espalion, France, within the historic Laguiole region, it is a knife made to be carried, used and handed down.
The Full Handle Difference
On the L0512, the handle material is the handle. Where the classic L0212 frames its scales between two polished stainless steel bolsters, the full handle design carries the teak burl from end to end in one continuous piece of material. The result is a lighter, warmer feel in the hand and a sleeker, more contemporary silhouette.
