For sale is a laguiole made by Honoré Durand. Snakewood handles, 12c27 Sandvick stainless steel. Single piece spring with forged bee and shepherds cross in the handle.
The knife came with a small scratch in the blade and rather than send back to France, I polished it out myself but it's a touch milky depending on the light (to the left of the Honoré Durand stamp). I have sharpened it on a Sharpmaker. Blade has light surface marks/scratches due to the very high polish and wiping. Bolsters show some wear and a scuff I show in the photos. Pull is pretty stiff. I don't have enough reference to put a number on it but it's much tighter than my GEC 15. Perfectly centered. I love this knife but it's too big to carry for me and I've mostly used it as a steak knife.
Comes with original paperwork, certificate of authenticity (in French) and black leather sheath. Did not come in a box or pouch. I will also include a small sharpening stone I purchased with this but never used on the knife (I did use it on an old Opinel to practice freehand).
Overall Length: 22cm (8.66 in)
Handle Length: 12cm (4.72 in)
Blade Length: 10cm (3.94 in)
Asking $120, PayPal goods. US buyers only. Price includes USPS Priority shipping to any residential address in the US. Generally speaking, first I'll take it gets it with usual caveat that I reserve right not to sell to anyone I'm not comfortable with.
