Horn handle

Brown horn is a naturally beautiful and durable material that has been used for decades in the production of Laguiole knives. Obtained from the horns of animals such as cows or buffalos, it possesses unique characteristics that make it a popular and traditional choice among knife makers and enthusiasts of Laguiole knives worldwide.

Brown horn offers a combination of strength, lightness, and flexibility, making it an ideal material for crafting Laguiole knife handles. It also features a naturally rich and complex texture, with color variations ranging from light brown to dark black, with light or nearly white shades. These natural nuances give each Laguiole knife with a brown horn handle a unique appearance, contributing to the beauty and traditional appeal of these equipped knives.

In addition to its attractive aesthetics, brown horn also provides a good grip. The natural texture of the horn creates a slightly rough surface that enhances the grip of the Laguiole knife, offering safer and more comfortable handling. This increased grip of Laguiole knives with brown horn handles is particularly appreciated in applications where precision and control are essential, such as food preparation or precision tasks.

Another advantage of brown horn is its resistance to temperature changes and moisture. Unlike some other materials used for Laguiole knife handles, brown horn is less prone to warping due to humidity or temperature variations than wooden handles. Brown horn remains strong and stable, making it a reliable and long-lasting choice for traditional Laguiole knife users.

In conclusion, brown horn is an attractive, durable, functional, and traditional material for crafting Laguiole knife handles. Its combination of natural beauty, comfortable grip, and resilience makes it a popular choice among Laguiole knife enthusiasts and aficionados.
