New Vintage Sabatier Nogent / Cuisine Massive 34cm / 13.5" Slicer Stainless 50s-60s?

Stainless steel and old style dyed wood handle Nogent / Cuisine Massive 13.5" slicer with hand forged and hand ground blade, aluminum ferrule ring and 'ebonized' iron and oak gall dyed handle. Blade is very slightly flexible.

No markings but these would have been made in Thiers or nearby Saint Remy. Some have some small residual pepperspots from a little corrosion that had started. We separated these from ones that had cracked handles or bent blades. 

Nogent style knives are characterized by their one piece wood handles, with a rat tail stick tang extending to the end of the handle and a round steel or aluminum ferrule. ‘Cuisine Massive’ was used to describe the style in Thiers, as Nogent was a rival knife making city.

These knives were made in or around Theirs, France likely in the 1950‘s. They are thin and light being hand forged on an old style 'Martinet' mechanical hammer and then ground by hand on stone wheels, very similaryly to how knives were made in the 19th and early 20th century, these techniques and equipment are now long gone.

Please note these can have small imperfections, very slight cants or waviness to the edge is possible as well. We do quality control on these but tiny imperfections are part of the picture.

New Old Stock, Vintage and New Vintage knives do not come sharpened. Please request sharpening if desired in the order notes section of the cart page.
