Laguiole Cheese Knives & Cheese Sets

Louis Thiers cheese knives and serving sets bring the familiar Laguiole aesthetic to one of the most enjoyable parts of relaxed entertaining.

Selected sets include different tools for slicing, spreading and serving a variety of cheeses, with stainless-steel blades, distinctive handles and the traditional Laguiole bee motif.

Many Louis Thiers cheese sets are also presented in timber storage boxes, making them practical to store and particularly attractive for gifting.

Luxe Cheese Serving Pieces

The Luxe collection has a polished, contemporary character, with marbled-look and coloured handles paired with substantial stainless-steel serving pieces.

Choose a single cheese knife for simple everyday serving or a multi-piece set when creating a more complete cheese board.

Black, ivory and multicoloured designs allow the cutlery to sit comfortably alongside both traditional and contemporary table settings.

Kitchen Utensils

The Louis Thiers collection has also included selected kitchen utensils such as the Belle whisk, bringing the decorative Laguiole influence beyond the dining table and into everyday food preparation.

Materials and care requirements vary between pieces, particularly where natural wood is used, so always check the individual product description before washing or placing an item in the dishwasher.

The Distinctive Laguiole Style

Laguiole is recognised around the world for its distinctive cutlery shape and characteristic bee emblem.

The Laguiole knife tradition developed in France during the nineteenth century, with the style subsequently inspiring a wide variety of table knives, cheese tools, serving utensils and kitchen accessories.

Louis Thiers interprets this familiar design language through collections including Luxe, Toujours and Artisan, combining stainless steel with acrylic, timber and other handle materials according to the range.

The result is cutlery that brings a recognisable French character to the table without needing to be reserved for formal dining.

Made for Cheese, Wine & Shared Tables

A good cheese knife earns its place at the table through use.

Bring out a Louis Thiers cheese set with a favourite board, a selection of soft and hard cheeses, fresh bread and a bottle of wine for an easy approach to entertaining.

Pair black handles with clear French glassware and neutral linen for a more restrained setting, or introduce multicoloured handles when you want the table to feel relaxed and expressive.

The Laguiole silhouette works particularly well with the collected approach Malmaison favours - French glassware, natural linen, ceramic serving pieces and objects chosen because they are both beautiful and useful.
