Cradled in the palm, this knife seems to breathe. Its albizia wood handle, soft as a sun-warmed petal, shimmers with silky light tones, gently awakened by green spacers—whispers of nature’s quiet pulse. The spring, delicately engraved with tiny leaves, winds like a hidden path through a garden, and at the heart of one leaf, a subtle hammered mark suggests a living heartbeat.
The bee rests like a watchful guardian, its unusually long wings modestly veiling its slender, hand-engraved body. These wings flow gracefully along the spine, adding both strength and serenity. At each end of the handle, the four hand-engraved bolsters bloom with lotus-inspired motifs—identical, balanced, and hammered at the center as if to echo the knife’s inner rhythm. A piece that invites stillness, attention, and quiet reverence.

Laguiole Pocket Knife in Albizia Wood
The “Lotus Breath” model reflects the delicate balance between natural elegance and masterful craftsmanship. Handcrafted in the Laguiole en Aubrac workshop, this knife is made from richly veined albizia wood, known for its smooth texture and lightness.

The four bolsters are adorned with identical floral motifs, inspired by blooming lotus petals, each one hammered in its center to bring texture and depth. The bee, perched above, is sculpted with an airy grace: wide, gently curved wings shelter a finely detailed body, like a guardian in mid-flight.

Albizia Wood
Albizia wood is a rare and refined exotic species, known for its exceptional lightness and delicate natural grain. Native to tropical regions, it is highly valued in artisanal knife making for its smooth texture and distinctive appearance.
Handles made from Albizia stand out for their subtle elegance and organic beauty. The wood’s shades range from soft beige to deeper brown, often enhanced by fine dark veins that emphasize its natural character. Its light weight and silky feel make it particularly comfortable to hold, and well-suited to refined, well-balanced knives.
Beyond its aesthetics, Albizia is a wood that responds well to fine craftsmanship, allowing artisans to sculpt precise, durable pieces. Its warm tones and unique patterns add an element of rarity and character to every knife it adorns.
