Have your Laguiole Le Fidèle 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 Le Fidèle 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 Le Fidèle?

Le Fidèle is a small jewel of the Laguiole craft, where every blade is made with respect for tradition and for nature. Using natural handle materials such as horn, various woods and rare small timbers, together with careful guillochage, the house brings balance, elegance and function together. The spring work is done by hand, the fitting with care, and every knife reflects the commitment of generations. Here the heart of France beats in steel and handle.

What we look at on a knife by Laguiole Le Fidèle

Every forge has its signature. With Laguiole Le Fidèle it is the hand worked spring and the guillochage, together with the natural handle materials this house is known for. 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 Le Fidèle?
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 Le Fidèle 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.
