Owner's Message
Driven by his desire for creation and modernity, he creates in 2007 his own model, the Laguiole Tribal. This model symbolizes the alliance between tradition and modernity. The Tribal will become his reference in 2009 when he obtains the SEMA prize (Société d'Encouragement aux Métiers d'Art) in the category of "Contemporary Creation". Benoit will obtain the title of Master Craftsman and Master Craftsman in Arts and Crafts that same year.
2011 marks a great step in the life of this craftsman with his participation in the final of the competition "Un des Meilleurs Ouvriers de France".
Benoit Mijoule is a young knifemaker motivated and passionate about his profession and the traditions that surround him; he is above all looking to make models that resemble him and that fully satisfy the demands of his customers.
Today Benoit is happy to present you his knives on this website but also in his store 21 allée de l'Amicale in Laguiole and on his website www.laguiole-benoit.com. "

Un grand merci
La vendeuse du magasin Benoit l'artisan nous a proposé de participer à un visite commentée de l'atelier. Les couteliers travaillent en direct et l'un d'eux a commenté les différentes étapes de la fabrication tout en réalisant avec beaucoup d'habileté les opérations de polissage. Nous avons été séduits par le Tribal. Deux jours plus tard, je suis revenu au magasin et j'ai opté pour un Tribal avec mitres inox brossé et platines guillochées. Le choix du manche a été plus difficile, j'ai choisi la corne noire massive. La prise en main est excellente, tout comme la finition et le tranchant. Ce couteau sera sans aucun doute tout à fait adapté à mon utilisation de chasseur dans les montagnes des Alpes.
Merci à toute l'équipe de Benoît l'artisan!
