The Forge de Laguiole was founded in 1987 at the conclusion of a passionate campaign to reintroduce the making of authentic Laguiole knives to the town of Laguiole. The design of the building was entrusted to Philippe Starck who perfectly expressed the philosophy of the new enterprise: to combine tradition with creativity and innovation.

Since the Forge’s opening in 1987, every step of manufacture has returned to the town where the knives originated.
