Sabatier Carbon Steel Canadian Massif Pattern Knives
Thiers-Issard have been hand-crafting knives in Thiers France under the Sabatier brand with the **** Elephant logo since 1884. At one time, many companies crafted fine knives in Thiers, just as they once did in Sheffield and Solingen. As the cutlery industry declined in Thiers, many factories closed down. When they did, Thiers-Issard was often there to buy out what was left. In so doing, Thiers-Issard amassed a huge collection of carbon steel forgings. These knives were originally sold into the Canadian market. It is hard to date them precisely, but our account representative at Thiers-Issard estimates that they are circa 1910. The quantities available in this series are very limited. These Sabatier knives were all recently ground and handled, it is only the forgings that are old. These knives are of historical importance and when these are gone there will be no more. The Best Things is the exclusive US importer of Thiers-Issard Sabatier Canadian Massif style carbon steel knives. The quantities available for the larger size Chef-de-Chef knives is very limited. Chef-de-Chef style knives are very heavy cook's knives that were historically used as an all-in-one knife by French chefs. They are highly sought after today as collector's items.
Stainless steel cutlery is certainly more care free, but nothing can match the edge retention and ease of sharpening of fine carbon steel knives like these from Sabatier. Of course, if you neglect carbon steel knives they will rust. Carbon Steel knives by Sabatier have an amazing ability to keep a sharp edge. Over time, Sabatier carbon steel knives will develop a pleasing patina. This is a unique opportunity to own French chefs' knives of historical interest.
Please Note: Several companies share the right to use the Sabatier name. Only Thiers-Issard uses the elephant logo and this distinguishes the French made Sabatier knives which we sell. It is our belief that these are the finest French made knives available today.
