The mother-of-pearl shimmers, the thuya tells its story: the Laguiole knife becomes a masterpiece where every detail whispers an artisanal legend. The thuya burl, a rare excrescence born from chaotic growth, meets the iridescent glow of mother-of-pearl to create a unique handle.
The thuya burl is a natural rarity. It is an excrescence on the tree trunk, formed by chaotic growth caused by an excess of sap. This phenomenon can result from an injury, a parasite attack, or bark stripping. Each burl is unique, making it a highly sought-after material in knife-making.
Did you know? Thuya burl is so intricate to work with that it can only be used for small objects like knife handles.
Thuya, native to North Africa, is a hard wood with a characteristic brown color. Although challenging to craft, it offers an exceptional finish. Its delicate grain and natural patterns, reminiscent of leopard skin, make it a favorite among artisans.
Run your hand over this handle, and you'll feel the magic: this knife is waiting just for you.
