A Tribute to Timeless Craftsmanship
The Forge de Laguiole Tradition folding knife is the embodiment of French artisanal heritage, carrying forward a legacy made in line with a tradition dating back to the early 1800s. These iconic knives are instantly recognisable by their distinctive silhouette and stamped bee, a symbol of authenticity and timeless design.
What sets this collection apart is its unmatched level of craftsmanship. Unlike many Laguiole-style knives available today, Forge de Laguiole knives are forged in house in Laguiole. Each blade is shaped, ground, polished, and assembled by hand, making every piece a unique expression of the artisan’s skill.
The Tradition range offers four different blade sizes, allowing you to choose the perfect fit for your needs—from compact everyday carry options to larger, more robust blades ideal for outdoor use. You can also personalise your knife with practical features such as an integrated corkscrew or awl, making it both beautiful and highly functional.
Each knife in this collection is finished with either stainless steel or brass bolsters, and you can select from a satin or high polish finish depending on your aesthetic preference. These options allow you to tailor your traditional Laguiole knife to reflect your personal style while maintaining its authentic character.
Crafted using only the highest quality materials, the handles are available in a wide range of choices, including precious woods, horn, and other natural or synthetic elements—each chosen for its beauty, durability, and tactile feel. Every detail, from the hand-assembled components to the polished finishes, reflects the care and precision of true French craftsmanship.
And for those looking to create something truly personal, we offer laser and diamond engraving — perfect for commemorating special occasions or gifting.
Everything is entirely handmade in Laguiole, France, ensuring every knife is as exceptional as the next. Whether you’re a long-time collector or discovering these traditional Laguiole knives for the first time, the Tradition folding range offers an iconic tool that’s built to last and designed to be treasured.
