Cutlery shops Côte Aquitaine

This cutlery specialist has been established in Saint-Jean-de-Luz for over 30 years. Run by the passionate Dominique Urchoeguia, Meilleur Ouvrier de France, his store offers a range of exceptional knives, entirely handmade. For enthusiasts, collectors and anyone who appreciates having a quality tool in their pocket, you'll find a wide range of knives here, from "basics" to top-of-the-range pieces, made from out-of-the-ordinary materials. La Civette also offers a knife sharpening and engraving service.

Made in the town of the same name on the Aubrac plateau, Laguiole knives, with their bee, are the pride of French cutlers. Laguiole Saint-Emilion offers a complete range of knives. Laguiole knives are handcrafted using traditional methods. The knife assembly stages are carried out by a single knifemaker, who works both the materials and the forge for the metal parts.

This craftsman, artist and creator is always on the lookout for the spring or inspiration provided by new materials. This is where Laurent Carpintero will be delighted to tell you the story behind his knives. Each model is unique. He sources the metal parts from Thiers (the cutlery capital of France) and assembles them before moving on to what is perhaps the most aesthetically pleasing part: the handle. For left-handed people or those with handicaps, this cutler can make THEknife to please!
