The zebu is a domesticated cattle native to South Asia, but also raised in many regions of Africa and South America. Zebu horn is particularly prized for its warm color and unique texture. Laguiole knives made with zebu horn tip can display a wide range of color shades, from dark brown to light brown, sometimes with lighter veins.
Zebu horn tip is a very strong and durable material, capable of withstanding daily use of a knife without deteriorating easily. Moreover, it is easily recognizable and adds a natural and authentic touch to the design of Laguiole knives. Zebu horn is often paired with more noble materials such as precious wood or precious metals, to create high-end and elegant Laguiole knives.
