FORGE DE LAGUIOLE
Tradition and zeitgeist, combined with excellent craftsmanship - that's what we stand for with our name. We still manufacture each of our knives entirely by hand in the French village of Laguiole - in our own forge. In this way, we preserve a tradition that dates back to 1828.

The history of Laguiole knives
The French word Laguiole does not refer to a brand, but to a type of knife. Originally developed as a pocket knife, the practical and shape-optimised cutting tools are now used for many cutting purposes. Laguiole knives were the first folding knives. They were officially invented in 1829 in the town of the same name in south-west France. However, the special, curved blade shape probably existed even earlier. The local knives were combined with an Arabo-Hispanic design. As a folding knife with a spring blade, the model could be used in a variety of ways. It cuts precisely and sharply. A bee is still the trademark of Laguiole knives today. It serves as decoration. You can also recognise the knives by the fact that the blade and back spring are chiselled by hand. The blade is as hard as a rock. It goes through dozens of steps to achieve the optimised cutting result. With a Laguiole knife, you are therefore buying a kitchen and everyday helper that will stand by your side for a lifetime.
Laguiole knife set
In the Globus online shop you will find many practical sets with knives of different sizes. These include specialised eating tools, for example. With an oyster set, you get an elegant wooden box with four small knives that are particularly suitable for eating oysters. The brand also has a special set for foie gras, which is particularly suitable for cutting meat. The tools come in a gift box, making the set ideal for giving as a gift. The stainless steel blades are made of ultra-sharp stainless steel, so it is best to cut very carefully. The famous knives from France are also suitable as kitchen knives. They are included in the range as a set of 6. Would you like a complete cutlery set of knives and forks? Then the 12-piece sets are the right choice. Some of the handles are made of brown or black wood so that you can perfectly match the set to the rest of your cutlery and even your kitchen furnishings.
Cheese and steak knives from Laguiole
For cheese, it is advisable to use special knives to cut clean, wafer-thin slices. A cheese cutlery set is ideal for gourmets. Cheese cleaver, cheese knife and butter knife are all available in French style. This is a great way to delight cheese lovers or yourself. The sets all come in an elegant gift box, but there are also individual cheese knives available to buy at a later date or for personal use. It is just as important to have a good steak knife to hand. The larger Laguoile steak knives with their sharp blade allow you to cut even a thick piece of meat into small portions with ease. Thanks to their high quality, these luxurious knives have a very long service life. They require little maintenance, but must always be thoroughly cleaned and dried. When using Laguiole folding knives, remember to close them quietly and slowly: "Ressort silencieux vivra vieux" - a quiet spring will live long.
