The Laguiole Hermione Damas knife is a vibrant tribute to French General Lafayette, hero of the American War of Independence. This model tells a story of fraternity between two nations.
Its bi-material handle, made of dark and robust ebony combined with light, subtly fragrant juniper wood, reflects a harmony of strength and elegance. The Damascus steel blade, with its unique wavy patterns, showcases the excellence of artisanal craftsmanship. Every detail recalls Lafayette's epic journey across the Atlantic to support the American revolutionaries.
Anecdote: During his voyage aboard the Hermione in 1780, Lafayette was just 22 years old. He left France against the will of King Louis XVI, secretly embarking with only a few companions, ready to risk his life and fortune to defend the ideals of liberty.
Did you know? Lafayette was regarded as an adoptive son by George Washington, who affectionately called him his "son of the heart."
This Laguiole Hermione Damas knife carries a fragment of history, inviting every owner to become the guardian of a heroic tale of international solidarity.
