Forging plays an important part in the tradition of the Nourrisson family, originating from Thiers.

Cutlery-making in Thiers dates back to the 15th century, when the pureness of the water in the Massif Central was found to be excellent for tempering steel.
Despite technological improvements, the Laguiole knife is still handcrafted today
Their first factory, making a range of forged tools, was built by Claude NOURRISSON in Montbrison in 1897.
Jean Nourrisson is in charge of the knife department.

All knives sold by Actiforge are hand-assembled from parts made in Thiers according to the traditional artisan methods.

Actiforge offers the experience and expertise of a master craftsman to bring you directly from the workshop a wide range of up-market Laguiole products chosen for their quality and originality.

Since 2000, our customer-service team has been available online.
