To choose your folding knife, compare the grip, materials and dimensions shown on each product page.Based in Espalion, 23 kilometres from Laguiole, Laguiole Village is the result of a collaboration between F. Blandinieres, with over 40 years of experience in aeronautics, and C. Capelle, co-founder of a famous Laguiole brand more than 25 years ago.

From the outset, Laguiole Village has chosen innovation and creativity as its guiding principles. The components of Laguiole knives are cut with water and sand, an environmentally friendly process offering great manufacturing flexibility and superior assembly quality. This method also makes it possible to explore new designs, and this is how several knives came into being: the Espalion, the Antartica, the Loki, the Vintage and the latest addition, the Erwall.

The Espalion, named after the company's home town, draws its inspiration from the shape of the town's Pont Vieux. In partnership with the renowned explorer Jean-Louis Etienne, Laguiole Village created the Antartica to support the Polar Pod mission in Antarctica. The Loki knife draws its inspiration from the Marvel universe. As for the Vintage, it pays tribute to retro years, while the Erwall represents the emblem of Stade Toulousain.

Laguiole Village has filed a patent, thus becoming the first and only cutlery maker to manufacture the table knife with the forged bee. While the folding Laguiole knife with the forged bee has existed for a long time, no manufacturer had yet taken up the challenge for the table Laguiole. This achievement demonstrates Laguiole Village's commitment to pushing the boundaries of traditional knife craftsmanship, combining classic expertise with bold innovation.
