Nogent style knives are characterized by their one piece wood handles, with a pin-through tang and round steel or aluminum ferrule. They are thin and light with small bolsters. ‘Cuisine Massive’ was used to describe the style in Thiers, as Nogent was a rival knife making city.  

These big 11" Nogent knives are beefy and substantial, they have good toughness and excellent sharpenability. Hand forged on a 19th century water powered mechanical hammer during the 60s-70s, these knives were forgotten in storage until recently. 

Being handmade, there are slight differences between knives and they may have slight imperfections that would be consistent with handmade knives of their day such as a slight wavyness in edge and small bends.   The expectations that one might have of something machine made will not be found here.  If you can deal with these small issues, you are rewarded with a knife that has a great cutting feel and is truly a piece of history!
