En Aubrac, from France
Laguiole En Aubrac produces top-quality, handcrafted knives and other cutlery pieces. Each piece is created by a single craftsperson, their individual signature chasing (a unique, carved pattern can be found on the spine of the blade, and the quality of these beautiful products is guaranteed for life. Hand-made in France, Aubrac pieces each have a story to tell and a history yet to be created through generations of use.
Generations of Cutlers
Creating their workshops in the historic area of Laguiole, where the company gets its name, Laguiole En Aubrac aimed to revive local manufacturing in France. The traditional practices of cutlery manufacturing that have disappeared over time are being revived by these efforts. The traditional methods used by Laguiole En Aubrac in their workshops, combined with their creativity, set them as one of the top cutlery brands worldwide. The famous bee insignia is featured in many home kitchens and restaurants across the world.
The Signature of the Craftsperson
Rather than a traditional production-line model as found in more affordable ranges, each Laguiole En Aubrac piece is individually crafted from start to finish by a single cutler. The spine of each tang features a unique chasing, a series of notches and lines made in the edge of the steel before being met with its handle, that is the signature of the craftsperson that created the individual piece.
