Have your Laguiole Honoré Durand knife examined

You already own a knife from this house? We can examine it and issue an A.I.P.C.L. certificate of authenticity - no matter where you bought it.

You own a knife by Laguiole Honoré Durand but did not buy it at original-laguiole.de? You can still have it entered into the A.I.P.C.L. A genuine knife from this forge stays a genuine knife, whichever counter it crossed.

Who is Laguiole Honoré Durand?

Honoré Durand is deeply rooted in the heart of the Laguiole country. His forge settles for no compromise: every knife is made entirely in the village of Laguiole, under the strict rules that the name couteau de Laguiole demands. The line is clear, the fittings take up the classic design, the spring work is exact, and every raw material, from the steel to the horn, is used with dignity. Knives by Durand tell a history, they live an identity.

What we look at on a knife by Laguiole Honoré Durand

Every forge has its signature. With Laguiole Honoré Durand it is the complete manufacture in the village of Laguiole, under the strict rules this house sets itself. That is exactly what allows a knife to be identified, and it is what we examine in your photographs. If a question remains, we go to the forge itself.

How it works

1

You order the examination. In the original-laguiole.de shop, for 10.00 euros, like a product. Then you upload photographs of your knife in your customer account: open and closed, the bee, the spine, the blade with the forge mark, and if available the receipt or packaging.

2

We examine it. We compare your knife with what we know from 30 years of trading with French forges, and when in doubt we ask the forge itself.

3

You get the result. If your knife is genuine it receives its own number, its page on aipcl.com and the certificate as a PDF. If it is not, we tell you that too.

What it costs

10.00 euros

Examining and registering one knife costs 10.00 euros.

If the examination shows that your knife does not come from a French forge, we refund the amount, of course. You pay only for a certificate you actually receive.

The examination is ordered in the original-laguiole.de shop. With the purchase you buy the examination, not the certificate; whether we issue it depends on the result of examining your photographs.

Frequently asked questions

How do you know my knife really comes from Laguiole Honoré Durand?
By comparison. We have traded with French forges for 30 years and know their work. From your photographs we compare the shape, the spring work, the guillochage, the handle material and the finish with what this house actually makes. If a doubt remains, we go to them directly.
What does certification cost?
Examining and registering one knife costs 10.00 euros. If it turns out that your knife does not come from a French forge, we refund the amount in full.
I inherited my Laguiole Honoré Durand knife. Is that possible without a receipt?
Yes. Proof of purchase makes identification easier but is not a condition. For an inherited piece, good photographs and whatever you know about its origin are enough. The work on the knife says more than any invoice anyway.
