Sabatier Trompette / Ekco Ancien Maison Steak Knife Set of 6 Stainless Thiers 1950-60s In Bo

Steak knife set from the late 1950s or 1960s made in Thiers France. Vulcanized rubber handles (not plastic) are a  modified cuisine massive (AKA Nogent style) with rivets. These were drop forged to form the blade shape and bolster and then hand forged to draw out the tang and thin the blade, these were then hand ground and given a fine finish and represent some of the finer work done in Thiers in their day. The name Ekco is associated with cheaper kitchen equipment but these are definitely not that and fly under the radar sometimes. They were produced by Sabatier Trumpet in Thiers France as their trademark guarantees.

Knives show use but very little wear, their previous owner took excellent care of them even keeping the original sleeves (did that old 50's type!!). The box shows wear and a stain where there was a sticker, we taped the hinge with a black cloth gaffers tape, but all knives have fresh edges are are ready to go.

4 3/4" blade, 8 1/2" overall

NO DISHWASHER OR STRAIGHT TO JAIL!
