The Forge de Laguiole workshop opened its doors in 1987. It was the culmination of a project dreamt up by a group of enthusiasts to reinstate the manufacture of Laguiole knives in the village of Laguiole.

​

The design of the manufacturing site was entrusted to French designer Philippe Starck, and it is a perfection reflection of the company philosophy; to successfully combine tradition and innovation.

​

Once a small knife used locally, the Laguiole knife has now become a cult object, a design reference synonymous with art de vivre and French gastronomy.

​

The Laguiole company may be firmly rooted in ancestral know-how but has also inspired a wealth of modern talent to produce its unique collector’s pieces.
