Le Thiers knife’s story

November 1994 is an important date for all those who manufacture the Le Thiers knife nowadays. That day, the Etalon knife, the forerunner of the Le Thiers knives, was presented to the world. This is the fruit of a collective initiative of the regional cutlers. Indeed, this started from their determination to create an identity knife conveying the cultural values of that region renowned as the French capital of cutlery. Since the presentation of the Etalon knife, all the cutlers of this region have been authorized to make knives with their own design and pattern, without digressing too much from the original ones though. Each Le Thiers knife must combine quality and traceability. A bill of specifications was created to that end. To assess the originality of a Le Thiers knife, several distinguishing features and characteristics must draw your attention.

The characteristics of a Le Thiers knife

Pay attention to the following features. Firstly, its blade must be made with stainless steel, which makes it sustainable. Then, identify the T logotype, which must be steel-engraved on the knife. Next, pay attention to the brand. The LE THIERS brand must be visible on the right side of the blade. Right below that mark, the semi-figurative version of the T logotype must appear. Finally, below the T logotype, you should find the manufacturer’s name preceded by the word “by”.

Le Thiers knives are made with quality materials. In addition to stainless steel, you can identify a real Le Thiers knife by the quality of its handle material. Therefore, the handle of a Le Thiers knife can be made with wood, steel, bone, buffalo or ram horn. The manufacturers can also use their imagination to create their refined work. You shall then discover very elegant handles or ones with very trendy colours.

The specificities of the Le Thiers knife

Beyond the characteristics mentioned above, Le Thiers knives are specifically the same in terms of nature and the exact degree of their shape’s curve, which is slightly rounded. Only a real Le Thiers cutler can create this shape. All Le Thiers knives without exception are traced from the manufacturing process to their sale. This rule has been implemented to guarantee the territoriality and authenticity of each Le Thiers knife.

All Le Thiers knives are entirely handmade. Which makes them very refined, original, beautiful and unique. All the actors in the distribution channel of the Le Thiers knives are listed on the association’s website.

How much does a Le Thiers knife cost?
