Laguiole Knives MADE IN FRANCE

This knife has been produced at Claude Dozorme's for over 100 years. It is impossible to improve it beyond its present perfect form and justifiably carries a cross embedded in the handle. For generations of shepherds and farmers it has been a reliable companion. And that's how it will be for you should you decide to acquire this knife.

As long as 100 years ago, a knife, similar to this one, kept the shepherds company in the solitude of the Auvergne (high plateau in France), far away from any human dwelling. A cross (using metal pins) was flush-mounted into the handle of the knife (hence today’s term - “Shepherd’ Cross”). When the shepherd stuck the knife upright into the ground, he could pray in front of it. You will find this shepherd’s cross also in the knives of the ‘Gravure edition‘!

Action and reaction, ebb and flow, trial and error, change - this is the rhythm of living. Out of our over-confidence, comes fear; out of fear, comes clearer vision, fresh hope. And out of hope, progress. Bruce Barton

This knife is, considering its futuristic design of lightweight high-quality materials and the modern technique, the logical evolution of an old knife tradition into the modern age.

For the first time, Claude Dozorme has added to his Sellier (saddler) line a Laguiole knife with finely crafted grip plates of crocodile leather (from animals specially bred according to the strict regulations of the Washington Convention)!

With a tradition from the beginning of the 19th century, today the Laguiole knife has become a cult. No-one who owns a knife like this would ever do without it anymore! It is more than understandable that the enthusiastic frineds of Laguiole longed for matching knives and forks.

The colourful marbled candy canes of 'Berlingot' from the 17th century were the inspiration that sparked the naming of this set of kitchen knives. Best quality and impeccably polished for maximum comfort, a beautiful look and feel and the bee as typical Laguiole design element.

Since the fourteenth century, the bishop town of Thiers has produced knives whose exceptional quality is well known throughout France. These knives were at one time so valuable that they were passed down as an heirloom from father to oldest son. Unlike Laguiole knives, a Thiers knife may only be manufactured by knife makers sanctioned by the "Confrérie du Couté de Tié". The blade of every Thiers knife also features the original "T" logo or "Le Thiers" with the name of the maker in the upper-right corner, both of which are protected trademarks!

This Laguiole knife features materials traditionally used for hundreds of years. Layered Damascus steel und carefully selected, brightly or darkly matted and shimmering horn, featuring the Shepherd`s Cross in its silver glory: these two materials meet in perfect harmony.
