How to Choose Your Laguiole Knife

With or Without a Corkscrew?
First, decide whether you prefer a single-piece Laguiole knife (a simple knife with a blade) or a two-piece model (a knife with both a blade and a corkscrew). The original Laguiole knife was a simple blade-only design, often favored by purists who appreciate the knife’s classic, unaltered shape.

The corkscrew was added around 1880, following the migration of people from Rouergue to Paris to work as bartenders. When choosing, it’s important to consider the corkscrew’s usefulness, as it can make the knife’s grip slightly less comfortable compared to a simpler model.

Choosing the Right Size
Laguiole knives come in various sizes, ranging from 8 to 14 cm. Note that the listed size refers to the knife when closed.

For example:

• A 10 cm Laguiole knife has a handle length of 10 cm, a blade length of 8.4 cm, and a total length of 18.4 cm when open.
• A 12 cm Laguiole knife features a 12 cm handle, a 10 cm blade, and a total length of 22 cm.

The 10 cm size is commonly used as a pocket knife and is often considered more suitable for smaller hands or as a women’s knife. The 12 cm size is the standard, ideal for use as a table knife. Larger sizes are better suited for those with bigger hands.

How to Identify a Genuine Handcrafted Laguiole Knife from the Original Region
The name “Laguiole” comes from a village in the Aubrac region of France, where Laguiole knife have been crafted since the 19th century. After World War I, some workshops in Thiers began making Laguiole knife, including industrially produced versions.

At Laguiole.com, you will find knives from top manufacturers, such as Forge de Laguiole, crafted in the village of Laguiole itself, and Laguiole en Aubrac, made in the original Laguiole region at Espalion. The Laguiole Arbalète collection is also available, produced in Thiers by a workshop with a history dating back to 1829.

Buying at a Fair Price
