"Massive selling of weapons"
You know the Zwiss penknife but do you know the knife from Laguiole ?
The Laguiole is a knife with a special shape, initially made for the shepherds. It is a mix between the traditional knife of the Auvergnates and the one of shepherds from Corsica.
It is often copied and you can guess if you have or not a true Laguiole with the 3 conditions :
1/ it has the typical shape you can see on the picture.
2/ it has a blazon : a bee or abull (bull of Aubrac) or a swordfish.
3/ 20 years after you bought it, it is still in good order because it is a hand made object.
The Laguiole can be an arm, a tool (to sculpt a baston) or a setting. The last use is the most common and you can find also forks and spoons to fit with the knives you buy.
