"The Basque or Yatagan Basque knife. The unusual design of this knife lies in the metal studs embedded in the handle, which were part of its original fabrication. Initially, it was used by planters to cut tobacco leaves in the Bergerac region. As soon as the workers cut the leaf stalks though, the sap formed a sticky, gelatinous paste that rapidly clogged their knife. This explains why, at this time, the knife was mounted with a series of prominent metal studs known as rosettes. Coutellerie Au Sabot has opted for a purer, more streamlined look for this version."

"The blade shape was later used to give the Laguiole knife its actual form."
