French Laguiole Bougna Folding Knife w/ Brass Inlay

A French Laguiole Bougna folding knife with a warm wood handle, traditional bee detail, and delicate brass floral inlay worked into the scales. The Laguiole form traces its roots to 19th-century France, where these slender folding knives became closely associated with regional craftsmanship and everyday ritual. The decorative brasswork gives this example a more refined character, balancing the utility of a working pocket knife with the detail of a small personal object meant to be kept and carried for years. Kept on a desk, it could also serve beautifully as a letter opener—a small way to bring a little ceremony back to the opening of correspondence.
