More about Abalone
Abalone is the English name of a shellfish whose internal shell is pearly and iridescent with beautiful blue, pink and green hues.
In some cultures, abalone symbolizes the Great Goddess of the Pacific Ocean. Its shell is sometimes used as an incense burner or for ceremonies, because it is both very pretty and heat-resistant.
Chosing an abalone-handled knife is a way of taking with you some of the ocean's majesty and keeping a taste of adventure in your pocket.
This superb iridescent and shimmering Laguiole is sure to please sailors and sea-lovers.
Holding in your hands an abalone handle is like holding a seashell to your ear : a way to travel without actually sailing away.
