K Sabatier New Old Stock Authentique 13" Chef Carbon POM

New old stock 13" carbon steel chef knives from the K Sabatier vault!  These knives were forged in the the 50s-60s and have never been used.

They were hand forged after being drop forged and hand ground on water stones in the old Thiers style.  This lends to giving them a great geometry, making them nimble where they need to be and tough in the heel. These are the quintessential post war French chef knife.

Since 1834, K Sabatier has been the dedicated brand of Sabatier Aine & Perrier, a family cutlery business started by Philippe Sabatier in the early 1800’s. The business has been passed down 8 generations, and has remained located in the hills of Thiers, France in the village of Bellevue. They continue to run their company with pride and precision, keeping all aspects of the manufacturing process within the area of Thiers.
