Official Launch of Company Tours! We had the pleasure of officially launching our company tours at Fontenille Pataud, in the presence of Sylvie Fayolle, Vice-President for Tourism of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region.

A big thank you to the Region for its valuable support through the Savoir-Faire Tourism Fund, which enabled us to bring this public opening project to life.

We also extend our sincere thanks to the Savoir d'ici team for their guidance and support throughout the development of this project.

We now welcome you to discover the behind-the-scenes of our artisanal craftsmanship and dive into the world of cutlery.

Come visit our workshop in Thiers and share our passion for excellence and tradition.

February 2025

This year, the Coutellia show will take place on May 17th and 18th. The poster highlights an exceptional knife crafted by one of our talented artisans, Alexis Thuïa.

Made in just four months, mainly in Alexis's spare time, this knife is the culmination of over 200 hours of painstaking work.

The blade has been carved from high-quality carbon steel (forged by Benjamin Laraud), offering a unique damascened finish that reflects Alexis's precision and technical mastery. But it's the handle that catches the eye. Made from fossilised mammoth ivory, it is enhanced by the spectacular inlay of 1,660 silver nails, inserted one by one by hand. Each nail is positioned with extreme care, following an oblique geometric pattern that evokes the work of a goldsmith.
