In the heart of this Laguiole knife lies a tribute to wild elegance. The sculpted bee, unlike any other, blooms from the spine like a flower in motion. A five-petaled blossom crowns its center, giving way to delicately curved wings—soft, fine, and full of lightness, as if they were just about to take flight. This poetic presence is echoed by the spring, engraved with graceful vegetal motifs that bring nature’s rhythm to life.
Crafted from dark figured poplar, the full handle reveals swirling, dramatic lines—each one a signature of the tree’s strength and history. Deep browns and golden undertones intertwine, producing a rich, organic texture that feels both grounded and free. This piece isn’t just functional—it’s a lyrical sculpture, meant to be held, admired, and passed down.

A masterful fusion of floral design, rare wood, and French knife-making tradition.
This full-handle Laguiole knife features a 12 cm body in figured dark poplar—a rare and expressive wood taken from the fork of the tree, where the grain densifies into mesmerizing curves. Its satin finish preserves the natural depth of the wood while providing a silky, balanced grip.
The bee is carved directly into the spring, with a flower at its center and finely arched wings reminiscent of wind-blown petals or calligraphic curves. The spring is adorned with botanical engravings, continuing the organic flow, while both liners are chiseled at the base, adding refinement without excess. The result is a perfect blend of detailed craftsmanship and natural soul—ideal for collectors and discerning enthusiasts.
Figured Poplar – Sculptural, Expressive, Alive
Known for its flowing grain and deep contrasts, figured poplar is anything but ordinary. This particular cut comes from the fork of the tree, where fibers twist and converge—producing dynamic veining with almost three-dimensional movement. The result is a dark, animated wood that seems to ripple with shadow and light.
Its texture is smooth, yet tactile; its surface offers a visual rhythm that changes under every angle. When shaped and polished, figured poplar becomes a living material—at once sculptural and grounded. Each piece reveals a different story, turning the handle into a landscape of contrasts. It’s a wood that speaks in whispers and silhouettes.
