Pocket knives made in France
Pocket knives made in France
All the knives on this page are made in France. You will find classics such as Opinel, Laguiole, Le Thiers and Douk-Douk, alongside lesser-known models, from small hiking knives to gentleman's knives.
Thiers, the capital of French knife-making
Most of our French folding knives come from Thiers, in Puy-de-Dôme, France's leading knife-making area: G. David, founded in 1912 and a Laguiole specialist, Claude Dozorme, Goyon-Chazeau, Florinox, Dumas, Au Sabot, BJB and Douk-Douk, the knife with a stamped metal handle.
Thiers also gave its name to the Le Thiers knife, designed by the town's knife-makers in the 1990s and recognisable by its slender silhouette.
Laguiole, Opinel, Nontron: the other great names
- Laguiole is the name of a village in Aubrac and a knife style, rather than a protected brand: a Laguiole can come from anywhere. Ours are made in France, in Thiers by G. David and by Le Fidèle.
- Since 1890, Opinel has made its wooden-handled knife with a collar in Savoie; the Virobloc ring locks it open or closed.
- Nontron, in Dordogne, is France's oldest knife-maker still in operation, recognisable by its pyrographed boxwood handle.
- The selection also includes knives from K2 and André Verdier, as well as regional models such as the Corrèze, Occitan and Normaund.
How to choose your French pocket knife
- For hiking: a simple, lightweight model such as an Opinel No. 8 or a Douk-Douk is sufficient for picnics and small tasks.
- Stainless or carbon steel: stainless steel needs little maintenance; carbon steel sharpens more easily and develops a patina, but is vulnerable to moisture.
- Blade locking: Opinel's Virobloc ring locks the blade; Laguiole and Le Thiers knives usually use a slip joint, with the spring holding the blade open.
- As a gift: a Laguiole or Le Thiers with a precious wood, horn or ebony handle.
