Learn more about the handle
The Alsatian knife draws inspiration from the English knife due to historical and cultural exchanges between Alsace and England in the 19th century. At the time, Alsatians, particularly artisans and merchants, admired English folding knives for their simplicity, sturdiness, and functional design. These knives, known for their solid blades and ergonomic handles, were used in both agricultural tasks and daily life.
Alsatian cutlers adapted this design to meet local needs, adding a French artisanal touch and selecting noble materials like bubinga wood. Originating from Africa, bubinga is prized for its exceptional strength and warm tones, ranging from brown to deep red, with naturally elegant grain patterns. This exotic wood provides not only remarkable durability but also a refined aesthetic that makes each piece unique.
Thus, the Alsatian knife has become a practical and elegant tool, reflecting a blend of British influence, French craftsmanship, and the beauty of materials like bubinga.
