M A T E R I A L S


The materials we use must :
- Have the best possible carbon footprint
- Be as durable and transparent as possible
- Be charged with beauty, nobility and history.


Our   S T E E L S  all come from the Sandviken plant in Sweden. It is currently the world's most virtuous steelworks. Its carbon footprint has been halved since 2019, its energy is entirely non-fossil fuel-based, its steel recycling rate is around 90%, and so on. And above all, very high quality steel.


Our   W O O D S   are all European woods, as local as possible and recycled as often as possible.


For the   F A B R I C S   of our cases, we use either very old linen sheets found at flea markets or fabrics made by hand by one of the last hand-weavers in Brittany.


M A K I N G


All stages of making of all our knives are manufactured in France. Only the steel is produced in Sweden.


B L A D E S   are made in Thiers. Quite simply because that's where all the expertise in cutlery production in France is concentrated.


H A N D L E S  are either made in our workshop, or assembled by our artisan friends in Thiers or Brittany. The same goes for fabric cases. It all depends on the models, collections, skills, desires and availability of each individual. The main thing for us is always to make sure that the work fits the people and not the other way round...
