Traditional Laguiole: Artisanal and High-End Manufacturing

Every Laguiole knife in this range is a work of art, designed for the demanding hand and eye:

  • Guaranteed Authenticity: These knives are faithful to historical models, using the classic slipjoint mechanism (without a blade lock), prized by connoisseurs for the characteristic "clapping" sound of the backspring.

  • Exceptional French Manufacturing: Benefit from artisanal, high-end French manufacturing. From the forged bee to the hand-chased backspring, every detail testifies to the expertise of our master cutlers.

  • Noble Materials: Find handles made from precious woods (juniper, ebony) or horn that give your Laguiole a unique character and exceptional durability.


Safety is Your Choice: Our Complete Laguiole Knife Range

If you prioritize modern safety for intensive use, we offer an innovative alternative:
