Made from elegantly folded sheets of bamboo, these sturdy little boats are great for picnics or parties. Disposable bamboo knives, forks and party picks are also an excellent alternative to plasticware, and like all our bamboo products they are designed to biodegrade quickly and cleanly.

Laguiole Cutlery and Tableware

The Laguiole knife has been crafted in the heart of France for over 200 years. The "Auvergnats", the people of the region where these knives are crafted, always used to carry their Laguiole pocketknives with them. In the past, it was an essential part of their everyday life, used for farm work and eating alike.

The knife is hand made by craftsmen whose skills have been passed from generation to generation. The blade, made of high grade stainless steel, is stamped, ground and then polished with over 25 different manual production stages. The bumblebee that is found on all Laguiole knives is one of the emblems of the area, renowned for its reliability!
