Though it was crafted in France, Laguiole’s beautiful Golden Gate Bridge folding pocket knife was inspired the iconic red orange bridge spanning the San Francisco Bay. And in addition to a handle designed to look like it’s made of criss-crossing girders, the knife is forged from the same steel used in the actual bridge that’s stood the test of time since 1937.
