About "Shirayuki"
The new model "Shirayuki" introduced this time by "Laguiole en Aubrac" is a Japan-original model created through discussions between "Laguiole en Aubrac" and Global regarding ideas for handle materials.
To evoke a Japanese aesthetic sense, the gold and silver leaf suspended in the acrylic used for the handle were adjusted through consultations with the French headquarters regarding the balance between gold and silver, the size of the flakes, and how they are scattered.
It was reportedly named "Shirayuki" (white snow) after the image of pure white snow silently piling up with a gentle sparkle.
The Japan-original model comes with a limited-color cowhide leather case, and because natural materials are used for the wooden box as well, each piece exhibits a different wood grain and texture, enhancing the appeal of this one-and-only sommelier knife that can only be produced through handcraftsmanship.
The pinnacle of beauty is right here.
