The Sharpening

The manufacturing know-how of our Master-Knifesmiths combined with the quality of the steel guarantees the exceptional cutting edge and a long lifespan, which make the Original Forge de Laguiole® knives famous.

The grinding (emouture) is essential for the Forge de Laguiole® blade. This operation is used to refine the blade to ensure a better cut. It consists in grinding the blade to give it a V-shape while keeping a sufficient thickness on the back of the blade to ensure its solidity.

This operation is very important because it guarantees the quality of the edge. The sharpening of a blade is carried out using diamond grinding wheels.
