How to choose and recognize your Laguiole Héritage® knife made in France?
To make an informed purchase and invest in an item that will last a lifetime, here are a few practical tips. First, check the origin. A genuine French knife will bear the inscription "Made in France" and, ideally, the cutler's name.

A very low price is often a sign of outsourced manufacturing and lower-quality materials.
FAQ - Your questions about the Laguiole Héritage®
-
Why buy a Laguiole Héritage® TB 1648 that is more expensive than another found in a supermarket?
You're paying for the guarantee of French manufacturing, superior quality materials (steel, wood), artisanal and industrial expertise, and unparalleled durability. It's an investment in a heritage item, not a disposable purchase. -
Are all the knives sold on TB-1648.com made in Thiers?
No, products identified as "made in France" are produced in our factory in Thiers, France. This is our fundamental commitment. -
How do I care for my Laguiole Héritage® knife?
For wooden handles, avoid the dishwasher. Hand washing with a soft sponge followed by immediate drying is recommended. Oil the wood occasionally and sharpen the blade regularly to maintain its edge. -
What does the bee on the knife signify?
The bee is the traditional decorative symbol of the Laguiole Héritage® knife. Legend has it that it was an imperial emblem given by Napoleon, but it is more likely a stylistic evolution of what was called the "fly" on older pocket knives.
