Laguiole en Aubrac products at Altonaer Silberwerkstatt

Handle material: Recycled and shredded bank cards (composite) Liners and bolsters: stainless steel Blade steel: corrosion-resistant 12C27 And now for the real story behind this knife: Some people call it the “knife of tears”. Not because of the blade – but because of what’s in the handle. Real bank cards were cut up, shredded, and pressed into a new material. Cards from purchases you were proud of. And from one or two decisions you’d rather not talk about. Plastic becomes handle material. Regret turns into a Laguiole. Upcycling doesn’t get much more honest than this. There’s only one comforting thought: This card can no longer be swiped – but at least now it cuts properly.

Laguiole en Aubrac 12 cm – Fire Elder Burl – Space Bee Edition The Space Bee Edition is part of the Cosmos Collection and reimagines the classic Laguiole bee as a symbol of open space. Unbound to any single celestial body, it represents vastness, depth, and the unknown between the stars. The motif is deliberately more abstract than the planetary designs—a bee floating in space, reduced in form yet rich in meaning. The design is complemented by a finely handcrafted filework on the spine, subtly echoing the knife’s cosmic theme. The handle is made from Fire Elder Burl—stabilized elder burl wood with vivid color variations ranging from warm reds and amber tones to deep, dark inclusions. As a natural material, each piece features a unique grain pattern, often reminiscent of galactic structures: sometimes calm and profound, sometimes dynamic and explosive. The full handle construction emphasizes the knife’s clean silhouette and allows the material to truly stand out. Brass liners add a warm, classic contrast. Each Laguiole en Aubrac knife is crafted by a single maker in the Aubrac region of France. From the guillochage to the filework and the Space Bee, every knife carries an individual handcrafted signature.

This motif adds depth to the knife and is complemented by a specially designed, hand-filed backspring that underlines the artisanal character of the piece. The handle is crafted from Pink Elder Burl, a stabilized elder burl wood dyed in soft pink tones. As a natural material, every grain pattern is different—sometimes smooth and flowing, sometimes lively and expressive. These natural variations ensure that each knife has its own character. The full-handle construction keeps the silhouette clean and lets the wood take center stage. Each Laguiole en Aubrac knife is handcrafted by a single artisan in the Aubrac region of France. From the guillochage to the Saturn Bee, every detail reflects a distinct maker’s touch.
