Thiers · France
Two neighbouring workshops at the heart of France's cutlery capital. Two family stories, one standard: knives made to last.
Master cutler since 1902
Four generations of cutlers, from Blaise "the Wolf" to the 2022 takeover by Didier Perret. Creator of the fixed-blade Laguiole table knife and mechanism Le Thiers® knives, Claude Dozorme makes table, kitchen, pocket and sommelier knives in its Palladuc workshops.
Scissors and knives since 1975
In La Monnerie, Locau hot-forges its scissors and pruning shears and makes Le Thiers® knives. By taking over four neighbouring workshops, the house saved their know-how and now offers some of France's best-known sewing and embroidery scissors.
Thiers
Since the Middle Ages, the Durolle valley has used its water mills to forge and grind blades. Most knives made in France still come from the Thiers area. Le Thiers®, created by the cutlers' guild, can only be made here: a guarantee of origin carried by both houses.
