Laguiole en Aubrac pocket knife 7 cm horn, L0207PCI-SSI1

Thursday 9 June 2022

To be clear, 7cm is the length including handle and blade. Not one for macho men, this is a mini-pocket knife, considerably smaller than the online image appears. So saying, there is something pleasing about having a tiny knife, about the size of my little finger, tucked in my bag, ready to slice an apple! I am enchanted by the bee at the hinge, the bull's head engraved on the blade and the sleek horn handle.

Having always carried a pocket knife since a young boy i was looking for something a bit smaller than my Trevor Abblet Barlow. This Laguiole en Aubrac seemed to fit what i was looking for so ordered price was a bit high but it looked good. Tried to track it was 3 days moving between depots in Germany. When arrived it was well packed, first impression was good looked the part, till i picked it up the scales did not line up with the bolsters or linings you can feel the edge of joint when in the hand. On opening the blade there was no edge to the blade just a bur took 10 mins to get a paper cut edge. I decided to keep knife as i liked the look and size i will work on it myself and get it how it should be. Over priced for the quality anb finishing. British knives for me.
