Forge de Laguiole
Each knife takes several hours or even days to manufacture. Over 40 successive steps are needed to realize one. The quality of the finish, the strength of the blade and the spring, the thickness of the bolsters and plates, as well as the accuracy of the calibration are the elements that contribute to its longevity. Forge de Laguiole integrates all these manufacturing steps. The blades are forged and tempered on-site in Laguiole. The shape of the knife must respect the general outline determined by the cutlers of the nineteenth century. Each model is assembled and shaped by the same cutler: One man, one knife.
