This addition was the result of the sale of corked wine bottles in urban society, but also in response to the request by the people of Aveyron who had left to find work in the cafes of Paris. Cafe owners and waiters were to remain loyal to their traditions and were proud to use their 2-piece knife in the capital.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis pocket knife was entirely hand made in the village of Laguiole and features a forged T12 steel blade, bolster and liners.

If you do not see any gaps, it's a good sign that the bee and spring were forged from the same piece of metal. You can also recognize a soldered bee by noticing a straight gap\/ridge where the bee meets the spring.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMany Laguiole knives from all makers, including Forge de Laguiole, offer \"soldered bees\" models. Most Laguiole knives found on the market are solder bee models. The process of adding the bee to the spring by soldering it saves time and money, this is why the cost of soldered bee knives can be substantially less.
