MICHELIN – Laguiole Club 440 France knife with MOF leather sheath – Rare

MICHELIN – LAGUIOLE CLUB 440 FRANCE – COLLECTOR'S PIECE

Very beautiful MICHELIN Laguiole Club knife, made in France and accompanied by its leather sheath.

A particularly interesting piece that brings together two sought-after worlds: French cutlery and Michelin promotional and collectible items.

The polished blade clearly bears the famous MICHELIN marking. On the other side, the inscriptions "LAGUIOLE CLUB" and "440 FRANCE" appear, as visible in the photographs.

A PARTICULARLY REFINED FINISH

The knife has an elegant wooden handle, combined with crafted metal parts.

The back of the knife also features significant decorative work on the spring, visible in the detailed photographs. This finish adds a great deal of character to the whole and testifies to the care taken in its creation.

The handle also bears the inscription "VÉRITABLE LAGUIOLE" (Genuine Laguiole).

A RARE MICHELIN MODEL

The appeal of this specimen lies notably in its association with Michelin.

The name MICHELIN is directly engraved on the blade, making it a piece intended as much for cutlery enthusiasts as for collectors of Michelin, Bibendum, automobilia, and French advertising objects.

This type of Michelin object is nowadays uncommon on the collector's market, especially in this complete configuration with its sheath.

LEATHER SHEATH – CREATION BY "MEILLEUR OUVRIER DE FRANCE"

The knife comes with its leather sheath, which bears a label inside:

"L’Empreinte du Cuir – Créations Meilleur Ouvrier de France"

This mention refers to the leather sheath and not the manufacturing of the knife itself.

The sheath also features a "Véritable Laguiole" plaque.
