First prize, IWA Outdoor classics 2024
The Pole Star by Laguiole en Aubrac was chosen by visitors as their favourite knife at IWA Outdoors Classics exhibition.
Exceptional materials: meteorite and mammoth tusk
Every year, the IWA Outdoor Classics exhibition rewards exhibitors’ special achievements in the world of cutlery. In 2024, Laguiole en Aubrac stood out with a unique piece: the Pole Star, which won 1st prize in the visitors’ favorite knife category.
The Pole Star is an exceptional knife! Its name is inspired by the materials that compose it: a magnificent handle made of mammoth tusk and a large rear bolster made of meteorite. Its design follows the authentic silhouette of the Laguiole Droit, a 13cm long knife with a ‘corbin beak tail’ at its end. The chosen Damascus blade is VG10 Suminagashi with 67 layers. The knife with double plates has been finely handcarved by our cutler with a beautiful engraving work on the bee.
