Laguiole ? What a story!
Who hasn't heard of Laguiole knives? They are not made exclusively in Laguiole. There are in fact two manufacturing areas: Laguiole in Aveyron and Thiers in Auvergne. Our knives are all made in Auvergne. Six centuries of cutlery - that counts for something! Thiers is a town that has lived to the rhythm of its forges and polishing workshops. These are the blacksmiths who carry the Thiers cutlery tradition all over France. The "à l'abeille" brand comes from a line of professional cutlers who offer you products of impeccable quality, guaranteed to be of French origin. Did you know that it was former cutlers from the Auvergne who became café owners who launched the success of the corkscrew knife? These blacksmiths, who moved to Paris after the war, never forgot their roots and played a major role in the spread of knives with corkscrews in the capital.
Cutlery: Real expertise
How do you get the perfect Laguiole? You need a love of work, the expertise of the blacksmiths and the imagination of the cutlers of Thiers or Laguiole. To make a revolutionary knife, you don't need die-hard Gaulish conservatives, you need blacksmiths who are passionate about their craft. Some cutlers have broken the mould by making aluminium handles, others by changing the spring system. All have contributed to the evolution of the Laguiole-style folding knife. The Musée du couteau in Thiers now passes on the history of traditional Laguiole knife-making.
