History of Forge de Laguiole

The very first Laguiole knife appeared in 1829. The knives were originally meant to be used by farmers and shepherds (hence the cross on the handle). Later, the knife was further developed and waiter's knives with corkscrews emerged.

After the First World War the entire French knife production moved to Thiers, which is still the knife capital of France. Other renowned Laguiole producers also moved. In the 80s, however, in the small village of Laguiole, the French brand Forge de Laguiole was founded which can still be found there today. For some Forge de Laguiole is the only 'real' Laguiole brand.

Forge de Laguiole is the only producer of Laguiole knives that actually resides in the village of Laguiole. Other famous names, such as Fontenille Pataud and Laguiole en Aubrac, produce their knives from the neighbouring village of Thiers. All knives are made by hand according to a fixed set of rules. As befits a real Laguiole knife maker, these knives are fitted with handles made from the finest materials. Forge de Laguiole also demands that high-quality steel from French soil is used at all times.
