The knife at the table.
In rural France, your knife came to the table with you. The house is developing a folding knife in that tradition — for the picnic, the paddock and the long lunch.
In study
In the French countryside, a good knife was never left in a drawer. It travelled in a pocket, came out for bread and cheese at the long lunch, and was handed down when its owner no longer needed it.
The house is developing a folding knife in that tradition — for the picnic in the Périgord, the paddock and the road between them. A blade that closes with a soft, certain sound, a handle that warms in the hand, and a sheath made in our leather atelier.
Like everything in the house, it will be made to be carried for a lifetime.
What it must be
i
For the table
Shaped for bread, cheese and a cut of meat — a companion to the meal, not a tool for the shed.
ii
Closes softly
A folding mechanism with a clean, certain action and nothing that rattles.
iii
A sheath of our own
Wet-moulded calfskin from the house atelier, finished like our gloves.
Until then, the house is carried in scent and leather.
