    General Information

    A rustic knife: Laguiole.

    Earlier, in the French region of Aveyron it was regarded as a rite of passage into adulthood when a young boy received his own Laguiole; and, at the same time, he received the excellent advice to lock the blade in controlled motion with both hands and to not allow it to snap shut – which is today still regarded as improper –, according to a wellknown folk saying: "ressort silencieux vivra vieux" (freely translated: "Without the snapping noise the blade lives longer"). Our knives are from the "Forge de Laguiole." Their blades made of T12 steel are individually forged and hardened (56-57 HRC). The manufacturing of a knife from beginning to end takes in place in the hand of only one knife maker.

    A country knife. Laguiole.

    In the old days, in the French region of Aveyron, it was considered an admission to adulthood when a young man got his own Laguiole; and the good advice to close the blade with both hands in a controlled motion and not just let it snap shut - which is still considered indecent today - was condensed by the vernacular into the proverb "ressort silencieux vivra vieux" (in free translation: "Without a snapping sound, the blade lives longer"). These specimens come from the "Forge de Laguiole". Their blades of T12 steel are individually forged and hardened (56-57 HRC). The manufacture of a knife is in the hands of only one knifemaker from start to finish.
