Built Under One Roof
True Laguiole, Made in Laguiole
A smith forges the blade from French steel sourced from Aciéries de Bonpertuis. Specialists prepare materials — wood and horn cut and prepared in-house; bolsters and fittings made on site. All within the manufactory designed by Philippe Starck.
From assembly onward, a single cutler takes over: pins set, spring aligned, spine and bee finished (on select models), edge honed, polish raised by hand. One maker guides the knife from first pin to final shine.
All in the village of Laguiole. The pace is deliberate; a knife leaves only when balance, feel, and finish agree. True Laguiole — built end to end under one roof.
Indication Géographique
First IG-Certified Couteau de Laguiole
Forge de Laguiole presents the first model authorised to bear the Indication Géographique (IG) “Couteau de Laguiole.” A similar national protection that guards Champagne now safeguards this knife.
The IG is earned: made within the Laguiole area, to state-defined specifications, in respect of ancestral savoir-faire. Each model is examined; this is the first approved.
This edition embodies the label: 5,000-year-old fossilised oak from the Rhine, a hot-forged French-steel blade, and symbols of origin - the ancient diamond and the chiselled Saint Andrew’s cross. For collectors, the IG restores certainty: authentic Laguiole, made in its birthplace.
Inside the Manufactory
Hammers, grinders, the pause of inspection. This is craft, not a line. Every step stays in Laguiole so material, balance, and finish align before a knife leaves the bench.

Folding Knife Snakewood Handle and Brass Bolsters
I was pleasantly surprised when my knife arrived. I knew they looked great online, but seeing the quality, and standard of finish in front of me was next level! Beautifully sharpened too. Very tempted to buy another one if I'm honest! Great work, and thanks again.

An ultimate piece of golfing equipment. A little bit of luxury on the course that is function at its best. Look after your golf course and keep it in prime condition whilst doing it in style. The Golf knife is just perfect and the quality is superb.

Golf Knife Dark Horn Handle
I’ve had a penknife in my pocket pretty much my whole life. I‘m retiring next month and I thought I’d buy myself a reward for 40 plus years at the grindstone. I selected a 12 cm briar handled model and I’m absolutely delighted with my ‘retirement pressie’ - so much better than a gold watch!! I’ve had many, many knives over the years and this is without doubt the very best I’ve had in my pocket ever. I’m looking forward to many years using it - gardening, fishing and opening up my grandchildren’s presents….
Bravo Laguoile Forge - fantastic.

Forge de Laguiole Corkscrew – Bone Handle & Stamped Bee
This is a beautiful piece & my new favourite trinket. It sits perfectly in the palm of your hand & is a pleasure to hold.
The dark horn handle has a wonderful lustre that compliments the gold & silver elements; the bee icon is an eye-catching feature.
The blade is a practical shape & polished to a mirror finish. I’m not sure why I would use a knife on the golf course but cutting cheese & baguettes would be a suitable application. The clasp is decisive.
The pitch mark repair tool is solid & practical & should wear with a personal patina rather than break like all my others.
It’s an elegant talking point.
I’m so impressed I ordered a single cutlery set in the same dark horn handle to dine in style.

Cutlery Set of 24 Thuya Handle
Absolutely beautiful knife.
I got this for my fathers 70th birthday, and had it engraved with his initials. although it took approximately 6 weeks for the engraved one (1 week without) it was definitely worth it, and my dad loved it!
Rachel also kept me well informed of the timelines and provided all options for customisation.
