Laguiole Traditional 12 cm

The Laguiole Knife by Fontenille Pataud: The Authenticity of French High-End Craftsmanship

Sleek, elegant, and timeless, the Laguiole knife remains the undisputed star of French cutlery. At Fontenille Pataud, we chose excellence by creating a genuinely artisanal and very high-end Laguiole, faithful to heritage yet featuring modern manufacturing quality.

An Artisanal Laguiole, 100% Made in France

The entirety of our production, including our Laguiole range, is proudly 100% Made in France. We guarantee quality standards only found in fine cutlery:

• Massive Forged Bee: Our Laguiole stands out with its massive forged bee (not welded), a true guarantee of solidity and authenticity.

• Artisan Finish: The backspring is hand-chiseled (ciselé à main levée), making every piece a unique work that showcases the expertise of our master cutlers.

• High-Performance Blade: We use 14C28N steel, known for its hardness and corrosion resistance, ensuring your Laguiole knife maintains a durable cutting edge.

The Detail That Ensures Longevity

The core of our innovation is dedicated to the lifespan of your investment:

• Integrated Blade Stop: The backspring is fitted with an internal blade stop pin. This essential feature protects the cutting edge when the knife is closed (even if the blade is "clapped shut"), ensuring your Laguiole maintains its impeccable sharpness.
