This is a Laguiole sommelier knife that I fell in love with and purchased in Paris 25 years ago. The engraving on the metal part, "LE TAILLEVENT," refers to a historic restaurant in Paris, France, which maintained three Michelin stars for 33 years from 1973, and was one of the most difficult restaurants to get a reservation at. This knife is a rare item, a double-name collaboration between Taillevent and Laguiole. It seems they are now called Forge de Laguiole, perhaps to avoid confusion with Chateau Laguiole. I haven't used it in a long time, so I am putting it up for sale to declutter. Forge de Laguiole has been made in the village of Laguiole since 1828, as one of France's traditional knives. It is characterized by a cross pattern on the handle, made with rivets. Compared to Chateau Laguiole, it has a bulge in the grip, and the streamlined form is very beautiful. I don't remember exactly, but I believe the handle material is cow horn. The foil cutter is a serrated type. The Laguiole logo is engraved on the blade's handle. Since I actually used it, there are some scratches on the metal parts. There is no "made in France" marking inside, but it is definitely genuine. Please check the photos. Size: Measured by an amateur Length: Approximately 12.2cm Thickness: Approximately 1.7cm Accessories: None This is a used item, so please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such things.
