Before we decided to sell LAGUIOLE cutlery, we did our research and we discovered the following : 

there is not such a thing like “an original Laguiole”.

LAGUIOLE is the name originally given to knives, handmade by shepherds in Thiers. (pistol shape). 

Unfortunately, these shepherds never patented the name – so now anyone can make similar cutlery and call it “Laguiole”

We buy our cutlery from manufacturers in the Thiers area - the only place in France where they still fabricate “original” Laguiole cutlery.

You can find much more about the HISTORY of the Laguiole Knife on our blog :
