Designed for Everyday Use. Made to Last.
Louis Thiers is a cutlery brand and manufacturer specialising in high-quality Laguiole cutlery, steak knives, kitchen knives and table accessories.
For more than 30 years, Louis Thiers has created distinctive Laguiole cutlery, kitchen knives and serving pieces designed to be used and enjoyed. Carefully chosen materials, purposeful design and hand-finishing give each collection its comfortable balance, lasting reliability and refined appearance.
Inspired by French Laguiole Tradition
The Laguiole knife originated in the village of Laguiole on the Aubrac plateau in southern France. In 1829, local cutler Pierre-Jean Calmels is widely credited with developing the folding knife that became the foundation of the familiar Laguiole design.
The tradition later became closely connected with Thiers, the historic cutlery-making town in France’s Auvergne region. Today, Laguiole is recognised internationally for its elegant curved profile, distinctive bee emblem and decorative metalwork.
Louis Thiers creates its own interpretation of this French cutlery tradition for contemporary kitchens and dining tables.
Quality You Can See and Feel
Good cutlery should feel as considered as it looks. Smooth finishing, comfortable handle profiles and balanced design make each piece easy to hold and control.
Louis Thiers designs every collection for its intended use. Materials and specifications vary between table cutlery, steak knives, kitchen knives and serving pieces because each product has a different purpose.
Depending on the collection, Louis Thiers products may feature carefully polished stainless steel, secure full-tang blades, forged Damascus steel, natural hardwoods or durable contemporary handle materials. Selected table cutlery combines a deep mirror polish with resistance to bending during everyday use for lasting reliability.
The result is refined cutlery that feels comfortable and agile in the hand, performs reliably and remains practical for regular use.
