Embodying the pinnacle of French craftsmanship, each ‘Buron’ Laguiole cheese knife tells a story of heritage and meticulous artistry. Originating from the quaint, history-rich village of Espalion, France, these knives are a product of their environment, reflecting the spirit and mastery of the artisans who craft them.
The handle, a splendid piece of olive wood, is not merely a base for the modern bee emblem but a representation of the timeless elegance and strength inherent in every Laguiole creation. This seamless fusion of materials speaks to the harmony between nature and craftsmanship, a hallmark of Benjamin Auzier’s design ethos.
The blade, constructed from superior 12C27MOD stainless steel, offers more than functionality. It holds the legacy of a culture, the dedication of the craftsmen, and a promise of longevity. It’s a narrative of tradition meeting innovation, where the age-old techniques employed in its forging meet the modern requirements of today’s culinary enthusiasts.
But what makes ‘The Buron’ truly extraordinary is the vision of its creator, Benjamin Auzier. A visionary in contemporary design, Auzier approached this creation with profound respect for Laguiole’s rich traditions, all while imparting his unique flair. His dedication is evident in every detail, from the knife’s balanced weight to its ergonomic design, ensuring not just a tool, but an experience.
‘The Buron,’ however, isn’t solely defined by its physical attributes. It’s the embodiment of a communal ritual, a piece that turns a simple cheese tasting into an event of sophistication and celebration. It’s not just about slicing cheese; it’s about the conversations that flow, the memories shared, and the bonds forged over a well-laid cheese platter.
From its precise construction to its cultural resonance, ‘The Buron’ is more than a cheese knife; it’s a slice of French heritage, an artwork, a future heirloom. With it, you don’t just own a piece of Laguiole’s legacy; you extend it, creating new narratives with every use.

Aubrac is renowned for its stunning cattle, characteristic burons, and distinctive culinary delights.

Olivewood :
Olivewood is esteemed for its grey, nuanced colour and unique pattern, making it ideal for exclusive knife handles. Not only visually striking, but this wood also boasts superior density and moisture resistance, attributes derived from the olive trees' slow development in mostly barren, arid soils.
These trees are renowned for their twisted, knobby growth, a result of the challenging conditions in their natural habitats. This slow maturation contributes to the wood's exceptional hardness, surpassing any other indigenous European wood types.
The irregular growth results in a distinctive pattern, varying from tree to tree, ensuring each handle is a piece of art formed by nature's own hand.
