Farol Encan 12 Knife in Gaiac – Rare Wood & French Artisanal Excellence
The Encan 12 in Gaiac by Farol is a distinguished example of French cutlery artistry, uniting elegant design with one of the world’s most exceptional woods. Named after the historic auction house of La Rochelle, the Encan line reflects Farol’s maritime heritage and uncompromising craftsmanship. Each knife is handmade in France with passion, precision, and attention to detail.
The handle is crafted from gaiac wood, also known as lignum vitae — a rare and precious material celebrated for its exceptional density, natural resistance, and deep olive-brown tones. Once used in naval construction for its remarkable durability, gaiac now brings warmth, rarity, and refined character to this knife. Each handle is unique, with subtle variations in grain and tone that make every piece one of a kind.
With its elongated silhouette, the Encan 12 offers a perfectly balanced weight and a comfortable grip, enhancing both precision and pleasure at the table.
