Our kits are made 100% by us, in our workshops in Laguiole: blade, spring, bee, bolsters and plates.
The parts are rough forged: there is all the cutlery work to be done (taking back all the parts, adjusting, drilling, milling, assembling, shaping, polishing ...).
The kit parts are guaranteed against manufacturing defects. An assembled part that proves to be defective: we replace the raw part but we do not carry out the disassembly or reassembly of the part.
Be careful, the Laguiole kits we sell are intended for people who know how to tinker: it is a real cutler's job.
The blade with rough forged finish is adjusted by one of our cutlers. You don't need to touch the blade. This way you keep the rough forged look of the blade (you don't have to take over the open blade alignment - between the bee and the back of the blade - nor the closed mechanism).
