Coutellerie & Forge Honoré Durand

Over

Coutellerie & Forges Honoré Durand, a French family-run business certified with a Geographical Indication, recognized as a living heritage company that perpetuates the tradition of excellence, opens its doors to you with free guided tours.

With our two trades, forging and cutlery-making, our workshop carries out every stage in the production of a Laguiole knife—whether folding knives or tableware—entirely within our facilities located in Laguiole. We were the first company to be certified with the Laguiole Knife Geographical Indication, an official recognition of the authenticity and quality of our craftsmanship.

We invite you to discover this excellence in traditional craftsmanship through our free guided visits, offered throughout the year.

1 – Main Visit: The Cutlers’ Workshop
The first part takes place in an air-conditioned amphitheatre, where you will learn about the history of the Laguiole knife, the criteria used to distinguish genuine knives from imitations, and sharpening techniques. Time is also set aside for questions.

The second part continues in the workshop itself, where a cutler shapes the handle of a Laguiole knife before your eyes.

Visits from Monday to Saturday. Departures at 11:00 a.m., 2:30 p.m., 3:45 p.m., and 5:00 p.m. (Please consult us for Sundays and public holidays.)
