Three knife makers – a brief introduction
Benjamin Laraud
In 2014, Benjamin Laraud came to Thiers to learn knife making from scratch. After working for GDD and Fontenille Pataud, he founded his brand Laraud Blades in 2023.
His first model, the L'Oegopsyde, is sleek, elegant and fluid like an octopus in motion. This was followed by the MagnaPinna, a slip joint knife with a smooth, rounded shape. Both knives are handmade and bear Benjamin's distinctive signature.
Benjamin Hée
Vor rund fünf Jahren begann Benjamin Hée am Fuße des Causse Noir mit dem Schmieden. Aus den ersten Küchenmessern entwickelte sich schnell seine Leidenschaft und schließlich sein Handwerk. Heute fertigt er handgemachte Kochmesser und Klappmesser, vor allem mit Liner-Lock, und erweitert seine Kollektion derzeit um Slip-Joint-Modelle. Dabei verwendet er sowohl seinen selbst geschmiedeten Damaszenerstahl als auch hochwertigen Damast von Achim Wirtz.
Jedes Messer ist einzigartig und spiegelt die Qualität von Material und Handwerk wider.
Roland Lannier
In 2014, Roland Lannier left the Perceval forge and opened his own workshop in Thiers. His first model, ‘Why so serious’, immediately won a talent award.
This was followed by the Heeled Jack, an elegant slip joint knife. Roland Lannier also produces handmade table knives that are highly regarded in top-class gastronomy – each with distinctive handle materials and a personal touch.
Marie Taillardat
In 2013, Marie Taillardat began her training at Atelier Perceval and founded her own company, Coutellerie Marie Taillardat, in 2020.
Her first creation, the 1925 model, is a tribute to her grandfather and is still handmade today.
This was followed by the 1925 BB, a compact version – also carefully crafted by hand and bearing Marie's personal signature.
