The Laguiole knife

It is important to know that "Laguiole" is not a brand of knife but a name of a village located in the Aveyron region. 80% of the Laguioles made in France have come from Thiers for centuries. The Laguiole knife is considered one of the specialties of Thiers cutlery along with other regional knives. 

Thiers is a city located in the Puy-de-Dôme, it is a fascinating city where in the 19th century the Laguiole knife had its heyday because the Laguiole knife was a very important market. The arrival of the Laguiole knife in Thiers will change everything in the history and the life of the cutlers, because it is following that there was the installation of the division of tasks with the creation of more modern knives. The cutlers of Aveyron had found in Thiers a way to produce more with quality industrial tools. It has been about 2 centuries that the Laguiole knife has forged its history in the Thiers basin and that our cutlers do not cease to produce French Laguiole knives of an exceptional quality without imperfection.

It is thus for generations that our Thiers cutlers have been producing quality regional knives. In 1994, Thiers will be able to have its own regional knife "Thiers®" thanks to the brotherhood of the Knife of Thiers. This knife is distinguished by its name inscribed on the blade, and a T stamped in a square on the blade as well.
