The name was never protected, and much of what is sold as “Laguiole” has nothing to do with France.

Pierre Dubost and Marcelle Colas-Pradel founded it in 1920; it takes its name from their son, and the fourth generation runs it today. The workshop holds France’s Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant label, reserved for companies whose craft is considered part of the national heritage, and it was the first French cutler to be PEFC-certified for the woods it uses. These knives are made there: stainless-steel blades, sculpted ivory-toned handles, and the polished rivets and slim silhouette that mark a Laguiole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat “Laguiole” means\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaguiole is a village on the Aubrac plateau in the Aveyron, where the folding knife that bears its name was first made in 1829. The name was never protected, so a great many “Laguiole” knives are made far from France with no connection to the tradition.
