Inspired by the design of pocketknives used by French shepherds 200 years ago, the full-tang handles in this carving set bear the hallmark of a bee, the symbol of the knives of the Laguiole region of France, renowned for its fine cutlery. Platine handles, distinguished by a ruffled, textured spine, have ridges shaped by hand, a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship. Handsomely housed in a wooden storage tray for safekeeping, the set makes a refined presentation for gifting and on special occasions. From Laguiole, a brand we love.
