History of the Laguiole brand: It was in 1829, in the small mountain village of Laguiole, located in the southwest of France, that a humble peasant's knife was created. The famous bee, emblem of prestige and quality, which decorates its spring, will contribute to making this knife the most renowned in France
It is called “the shepherd’s cross”.
It recently appeared on current Laguiole knives: we place it at the end of the 19th century. The vast basalt plateau of Aubrac on which Laguiole is located experiences the transhumance of cattle every May and October on Saint Géraud's Day
In the region, which is very steeped in the Catholic religion, the transhumant shepherds stuck the blade of their knife into the bread: the cross served as an “oratory” for prayer (it is said to be the shepherds' chapel).
