Classic Laguiole Cheese Knife – Zebu Horn Tip

Zebu horn has thermoplastic properties, which means it can be softened and made malleable by heating. It can then be bent, shaped and moulded into various contours to create the pressed horn products in our range. It is with the lowest part of the horn that we apply only this technique: the pressed horn. The tip of the horn is unique and precious.

Un-worked horns has a rough dull surface, however after sanding and polishing the horn takes on a smooth glossy appearance, it is only at this stage that it’s true colours appear. While cattle horn can be nearly any colour, it is generally a light creamy colour, sometimes streaked with white, brown or black patches.
