The Laguiole Cosmos Space Bee knife has a bright fire elder burl handle and a bee design that represents space. It belongs to a limited edition series from Laguiole en Aubrac.
The handle swirls with pink, coral and violet, like a nebula caught in wood. A fine brass line runs along the back. It is the most colourful of the Cosmos knives.
Cosmos is a recent limited edition series of four knives. Each has a bee design for a key element of the universe: the Big Bang, Earth, Space and Saturn. The handle is tinted elder burl, a rare wood with natural patterns enhanced by vivid colour. No two handles are identical. The blade is forged from Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel with a matte finish. It measures 4.75 inches (12 cm) from bolster to tip. The bee is detailed and forged, and the spring is decorated and engraved. This model has a brass and stainless steel plate. It comes in an oak wood storage case with an authenticity certificate and a 22-page Laguiole artisanal charter guide.
It is a knife for someone who looks up at the night sky. You get a collector's piece that is still made to be used.
