Luxury cutlery brimming with history
Efficient and multifunctional: the perfect companion for any adventure
Handmade in France, the Liadou Racing® pocketknife is a luxurious piece of cutlery that’s brimming with history and lauded as one of France’s best pocketknives. Our master cutlers use well-guarded traditional techniques to carefully handcraft each Liadou Racing® pocketknife in our workshop based in Marcillac - the French town where this type of winegrower’s knife originated. Created for use in the Aveyron region’s vineyards, the first Liadou knives quickly achieved success among winegrowers due to its extremely efficient and multifunctional features. Today, this true artisanal gem is recognized as a superlative object, a piece of French luxury cutlery that has been awarded the prestigious “Fabriqué en Aveyron” label for perpetuating the region’s age-old traditions.
The light and sleek version of our famous French pocketknife
The Liadou Racing® collection was designed with motor and water sports in mind, with its exclusive aesthetics, texture and colors. Liadou Racing® pocketknives are made of cutting-edge materials and are intricately designed, reflecting the state-of-the-art materials used to craft sports cars. For example, the knife’s metal liners have been replaced with a much lighter fiberglass. In addition to evoking the world of racing’s desire for high-performance features, these carefully selected materials have considerably reduced the pocketknife’s weight while increasing its durability. The Liadou du Vallon® trademark engraved on the blade of each of our knives is a testament to their outstanding quality and serves as a proof of provenance, not only for the knives themselves, but also for all of the materials used to craft them.
