The highly anticipated Top Knife is back for its 4th season! Follow our artisans' creations every Thursday afternoon on our social media channels.


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.
