This unique Laguiole pocket knife, crafted from mammoth ivory, embodies the finesse and elegance of ancestral craftsmanship. The handle, with cream and brown tones, is enhanced by a fine blue line that runs along the shepherd’s cross, adding a touch of discreet refinement. This combination of natural and precious colors gives the knife an exceptional character, where every detail reflects the meticulous attention of the artisan.

The bee, a symbol of the unparalleled mastery of the Laguiole en Aubrac cutlers, stands out here with extraordinary precision. Though classic in shape, it reveals unmatched finesse: the finely hammered head and delicately chiseled wings catch the light, enhancing every movement. The spring is adorned with vegetal leaves running from north to south, gracefully stemming from a central flower, an echo of living nature. This flower also appears on the bolsters, in the form of finely sculpted half-daisies, adding perfect symmetry to this work of art.

Mammoth Ivory

Mammoth ivory is a rare and ancient material, divided into two parts: the inner core and the outer crust of the tusk. The inner core, often simply referred to as "mammoth ivory," is prized for its density and fine grain, making it ideal for detailed, intricate craftsmanship. Its smooth texture allows artisans to create precision pieces with a refined and polished finish. The crust, the outer layer of the tusk, carries a rugged beauty shaped by thousands of years of exposure to the elements, giving it unique character and texture.

Handles made from fossilized mammoth ivory, whether from the core or the crust, are sourced from the remains of woolly mammoths that have been preserved in the permafrost for millennia. These creatures, which roamed the vast frozen plains of the Arctic during the Ice Age, have been extinct for tens of thousands of years. However, their tusks, uncovered from their frozen tombs, offer a tangible connection to prehistory, allowing artisans today to craft exceptional, one-of-a-kind pieces.
