Sport, Military and Collectible Knives | Coltelleria Collini

Laguiole knives, originating from the village of Laguiole in France, date back to the 19th century. First created by Pierre-Jean Calmels in 1829, the knives were used by local shepherds and farmers. The original design was inspired by Spanish Navaja knives and included a folding blade. Over time, the iconic bee symbol, considered a mark of quality, was added. The craft tradition has evolved, but Laguiole knives have remained a symbol of French elegance and craftsmanship. Today, they are made both by hand and industrially, maintaining their status as prized and sought-after items.

The internationally awarded forge of Laguiole en Aubrac is a benchmark for traditional French craftsmanship.

This traditionally designed Laguiole knife bears the LOG (Laguiole Origine Garantie) quality mark, which means that it was made entirely by hand in Laguiole by a master blacksmith in accordance with the strict quality criteria and LOG production specifications. Depending on the version, it requires between 109 and 216 work steps.

The handle is stabilised by two solid steel hilt bolsters. The left handle bears the traditional shepherd's cross (croix du berger) as decoration. 

The back spring (with the Pilgrim's shell symbol) was forged from a single piece and decorated by hand. The decoration is the unique 'signature' of the master smith, registered with the Prefecture of Puy-de-Dôme. 

The blade uses 67-layer Japanese VG10 rolled steel, manufactured by Takefu Steel.

The SOG Toothlock knife model TK-01 has a unique feature you will not find in other knives. The locking mechanism integrated into the handle nudges the blade ajar when the user slides it backward. This nudging action gets the blade started out of the handle, and with the flick of the wrist, the user can pop the blade out in a hurry. This combined motion makes for a very fast opening knife. The shape of the blade is fabulous and has VG-10 laminated onto its surface for a razor sharp edge and excellent retention. The handle is made of sturdy Zytel with textured grooves and grips. A bayonet style clips is mounted on the end of the knife for a nice, deep carry.
