The knives manufactured by the cutlers of Honoré Durand are custom-built by hand in the tradition of the French ‘Maîtres couteliers’ (master cutlers) from high quality materials. Depending on the design of the knives, up to 105 individual operations are necessary until they have their final look. Therefore, each single piece is unique in its kind. Numerous awards at national and international exhibitions and trade fairs attest the tremendous creativity of this company. One man – one knife, this is the company’s motto: Every knife is made only by one trained and qualified cutler who is responsible for the product, quite contrary to industrial mass production. After production, the knives pass through the master craftsman’s discerning hands and only flawless Laguioles (Laguiole knives) receive the company logo ‘Laguiole de l’Artisan’ in the sign of the bull. And of this they are very proud in and around the town of Laguiole. Also the many national and international awards bear testimony to this, awards which the knives of Honoré Louis Durand have received at exhibitions and trade fairs. * Handle from Serpent wood (Marble wood) * Knife closed: 120mm * Steel: high quality 12C27 steel * Bee and spring are forged in one piece * Decoratively forged top of spine * Double plates approx. 20mm wide. Handle scales are made from Serpent wood (Marble wood). Serpent wood (Marmoroxylon racemosum), also known as Marble wood or Angelim Rajado, comes from Guyana and Surinam, on the North Coast of South America. The tree grows in the jungle and is rather rare. The wood has a yellowish to brown-yellow base colour and a structure similar to palm wood with very decorative, irregular brown-black marbled striping. At its heart, the wood is orange-yellow and has dark, sometimes light purple, stripes resembling veins which give this wood its very decorative look. The machine processing of this difficult to work, hard wood requires a lot of power. KNIFE is MADE in FRANCE.
