Laguiole Secret Folding Knife With Olive Wood Handle | Claude Dozorme

Overview

At first glance, the Laguiole Secret looks like a classic French pocket knife—but it holds a secret. True to its name, this masterfully crafted knife by Claude Dozorme features an exclusive hidden mechanism that opens and closes based on the inclination of the blade. Sophisticated, sleek, and deeply original, it’s a collector’s piece that blends heritage design with modern ingenuity.

Made entirely in Thiers, France—the cradle of French cutlery—this knife is assembled and finished by hand. Its handle, sculpted from natural olive wood, complements the precise guilloché spring and the iconic Laguiole bee.

Why You Should Buy

• Secret Mechanism: The knife opens only when tilted blade-up, and closes blade-down, thanks to an internal ball-bearing lock—a feature exclusive to Claude Dozorme’s Secret line.

• Premium Materials: The blade is forged from Swedish 14C28N stainless steel, nitrogen-doped for razor sharpness and corrosion resistance.

• Artisanal Finish: Features hand-guilloché detailing and a natural olive wood handle, mounted with torx screws for full disassembly.

Lifestyle Integration

This knife is designed for those who appreciate the art of the unexpected. It’s the perfect companion for lovers of fine craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and French heritage. Whether for outdoor elegance, everyday carry, or a luxurious gift, the Laguiole Secret is a timeless addition to any collection.

About Claude Dozorme – The Legacy of “The Wolf”

The story of Claude Dozorme began in 1902 in La Monnerie, near Thiers, France. Blaise Dozorme, a master steelworker, founded a small knife-making workshop in his home. His skill and bold character earned him the nickname “The Wolf”, now the symbol of the brand’s strength and tradition.

In 2022, Didier Perret, an Arts & Métiers engineer and advocate of French craftsmanship, took over the family-owned business from Claudine Dozorme. Sharing her passion for fine cutlery and innovation, he continues the legacy with a loyal team.

Today, Claude Dozorme proudly upholds over a century of French artisanal excellence—crafting high-quality knives that combine heritage with modern precision.
