Original Laguiole steak knives are traditionally hand-made in southern France, more precisely in the cutlery hotspot of Thiers and the nearby village of Laguiole. Nevertheless, the knives sold under this name, which is not protected by law, can be officially produced worldwide so that you might come across so-called Laguiole knives made in different countries too. If you are not sure about the origins of some particular set of knives, ask the reseller before placing your order.
