Signature series | Andree Putman

The Signature series ~ As a symbol of Excellence, Forge de Laguiole has worked hand in hand since its origin with some extremely talented and acknowledged designers. Their purpose is to combine the know-how and traditions of their Laguiole master knife-smiths with a touch of modernity through the interpretation of Laguiole by some of the most renown Design signatures. Those exceptional knives are grouped under the Signature series of Forge de Laguiole.

The Designer ~ Atypical and free, Andrée Putman has, during her whole career, constantly imagined bridges, gaps, connections between arts, fashion and design. Her work, which included the first boutique hotel, Morgans, in New York (1984), and the Guerlain flagship store in Paris (2005), defined modern elegance for so much of the last century. Forge de Laguiole® asked her to create a knife: it shows an amazing creation of sobriety inspired by a Laguiole knife dating from the 1820s.

The Forge de Laguiole® knives ~ Fully handcrafted in-house, at their forge and workshops in the village of Laguiole, France, where it all begun in 1829, each knife is the result of their extraordinary materials combination, the know-how of their Master knife-smiths with the precision of a goldsmith. Forge de Laguiole® knives, for their unequaled quality, their longevity and their exceptional cutting edge, have become the reference signature of the greatest Chefs' tables all around the world, as well as of enthusiasts of sharp beautiful knives.

The bee is forged in one piece with the spring, in a thin and sleek design, espousing nicely the long plain handle made of ash tree wood + resin, a knife therefore dishwasher friendly.
