What is put before us, and how we decide

Every knife we enter in the A.I.P.C.L. register is examined. Sometimes it is clear in five minutes, sometimes it takes weeks and we ask the forge itself. This page tells such cases.

The cases are anonymous: no name, no seller, no photograph of the knife. What remains is what matters: the detail, the examination, the decision. The accounts are written in German.

Would you like your knife examined and registered? How it works and what it costs is under Certify.

Does your Laguiole not have an A.I.P.C.L. certificate of authenticity yet?

You can have it registered afterwards, no matter where you bought the knife. We check from your photographs whether it really comes from a French forge, assign it to that forge and register it under its own number. Your knife then has the same page and the same document as any knife bought from us.

The examination costs 10.00 euros. If the result is negative, we refund it.
