Laguiole ‘Freemason’ knife Ebony wood Handle

429€

In this special edition of Laguiole en Aubrac, the “fly” (a technical term for this part of the spring, traditionally shaped like a bee) has been replaced by the square and compass, iconic symbols of Freemasonry. The handle is in shiny, elegant ebony wood, with two gleaming stainless steel bolsters and a likewise shining stainless steel blade.

“The Freemason cultivates the perfect mastery of the art of being useful to the work. Becoming a stone for the temple of the Spirit: a buried foundation stone or a sumptuous keystone, it doesn’t matter as long as it is perfect.” This is the metaphor of the Mason: the Freemason shapes his spirit like a stonecutter in order to fit into an overall construction. Thus, if the Freemason’s journey is internal, personal, it aims to illuminate society and therefore to be at the service of all.

About Ebony wood:

The hallmark of ebony wood is its striking black or black/brown color, accentuated by fine, clearly visible stripes that give the wood a uniquely captivating texture.

Once processed, ebony wood boasts an exceptionally smooth surface, elevating its aesthetic appeal. Beyond its visual allure, ebony wood possesses a range of impressive physical properties, making it a sought-after material in various applications.

As a rare and precious wood, ebony has a high density, considerable strength, and exceptional resistance to aging. These qualities make it a prime choice not only for decorative purposes but also for functional applications that demand durability, such as knife handles.
