Some objects accompany us throughout our lives: the Laguiole knife is one of them. This object of great value, useful and sentimental, accompanies men wherever they are. It is also passed down from generation to generation. Sometimes, wear leads the next generation to have to change a faulty part, but such a real gem, it will be carried everywhere. It is carved, engraved, custom : it is specific to each person.
A Laguiole knife that suits you
Le Laguiole knife has long been given (and still is given) for significant life events: a birthday, a communion, a wedding, etc. It is the symbol of a strong belonging to a territory, but also the symbol of the esteem of the person to whom this knife is offered. Today, at the time of "do-it-yourself" (meaning "do it by yourself"), some cutlery artisans invite you to their workshop to experience a unique experience : make your own knife yourself.
For several years now, some cutlers in the village of Laguiole have been offering a day or weekend course for lovers of manual work. Some offer you a personalized support guiding you through the process. Others form small groups of 2 to 4 people for the occasion.
The principle is simple: you customize your knife by choosing the length of the handle, the number of parts (blade only, blade and corkscrew, or blade, corkscrew and awl), choice of blade steel, choice of bolsters and handle.
