"LAGUIOLE" - THE MOST FAMOUS FRENCH KNIFE

.

France has a long tradition of knives. Today, among the most famous pocketknives we can find the Nontron (Dordogne), the Laguiole (Aveyron) and the Opinel (Savoie) for example. Nowadays, we love handmade products with historic and country flair.

.

Among pocketknives, the Laguiole knife is the most famous of all. The word Laguiole, name of a village in the middle of the Aveyron region of France, will ring a bell in every European mind and carries a reputation of quality. This fame, built on the old tradition of upscale and quality products today suffers from the industrialization of the production and from knock offs.

Because of its prestigious image, the word LAGUIOLE by itself has great marketing appeal, and is widely used for that purpose. The name can be found in the French Dictionary, sanctioned by the Academy Francaise. That is how strongly rooted these knives are in French culture. The Laguiole knife has become a very trendy item, a collectors hobby: what used to be a modest farmers knife has become a favorite baby boomer-city dwellers knife. Born 168 years ago, it has benefited from a second youth that coincides with the return of the production to its cradle, the village of Laguiole in the Aveyron.

.

The French national press has testified to this extraordinary success with many articles dedicated to the Laguiole phenomena. In Le Monde (09/14/1991) a full page article titled Laguiole returns to Laguiole, Mr. J.L. Perrier explains that the name Laguiole comes up in more peoples minds than in peoples hands, creating what economists call demand and advertising people image. In the Nouvelle Obsservateur (01/7-13/1993), B. Fraysse tells the story of a new birth in the article Laguiole, the farmer from Paris. Even in Le Nouvel Economiste (06/07/1994) we find another article dedicated to the same glory: Sa Majesté des Surins The knife has become increasingly popular since and we can find it in the weekly VSD (02/13-19/1997), in a four page article on the knives, les couteaux se retrouvent du trenchant (A new sharpened edge for the knives.) where Mr. J.C. Collin shows how the knife has gained reference status.
