The Laguiole knife is a high-quality traditional Occitan pocket-knife,
originally produced in the “knife-city” of Thiers where 70% of the French
cutting tool production comes from, and in the small village of Laguiole, both
located in the Massif central region of France. Laguiole became associated with
a specific shape of a traditional knife common to this area.

Aubrac is a small village in the southern Massif Central of France. Heritage of
the Auvergne volcanoes bequeathed to the former Rouergue region, the Aubrac
plateau stretches over the southern Massif Central straddling the departments
of Aveyron, Lozere and Cantal. Its landscapes alternate between extensive
pastures and deep beech forests. An eternal nature still prevails endowing it
with an exceptional floristic richness with more than 1000 species of plants,
some of which are very rare.

Laguiole en Aubrac guarantees artisanal manufacturing of its products in the
historic area of Laguiole and they are attested by the LOG stamp (Laguiole
Origine Garantie) engraved on the heel of the blade.

Aubrac and the Laguiole Knife

The Laguiole, a traditional knife with a refined shape associated with the unique landscape of its land of origin: Aubrac ("Alto Braco"). This place of eternal pastures and deep beech forests, also known for its rich gastronomy is part of the department of Aveyron. A land
that has notably created the unavoidable Roquefort cheese, or that has witnessed the birth of the famous chocolate fondant dessert in the world-renowned kitchens of the Michelin-star chef Michel Bras.

Our brand

The Laguiole En Aubrac cutlery is one of the actors who have resurrected the cutlery tradition of the Aveyron Aubrac region, which had died out over the years.

The revival of local manufacturing was the guiding principle that led the company to create a forge and its workshops in the historic Laguiole area. Remaining faithful to the local manufacturing and its traditional practices is what makes Laguiole En Aubrac the brand that it is today. Each piece elaborated by Laguiole en Aubrac is the fruit of the work of a single master
cutler.
