With its urban and slim design, the Thiers® Advance will very quickly become essential to your day-to-day life.

A paradox gave birth to this knife: Thiers, the Capital of French Cutlery, has a six-century knife experience gained in knife manufacturing. The city manufactured various type of regional knives and products for exports. Among them, le Normand, L'Aurillac, le Laguiole, l'Issoire...still being manaufactured there in Thiers area, their name referring to regions. 

Strangely enough, the craftsmen of the Thiers area had never claimed a common identity through an emblematic knife. Out of that common remark, came the idea of creating Le Thiers®, an emblematic knife, fruit of a collective brainstorming.

Le Thiers ® knife is a deposited model at the French National Institute of Industrial Property by the "Couteau de Thiers" brotherhood. This one round up knives lovers, professional and amateur, who want high quality in knives production like say the guild. Each manufacturer must validate is creation and maintain an very high quality level. 

This knife is the symbol of several centuries of know-how in the city of Thiers.

In the Fontenille Pataud workshop, our craftsmen traditionally handmade outstanding knives for several generations, as usual in the city of Thiers. Each one of our knifemakers hopes to create especially for you a sustainable product that will become your every day to carry.

We are proud to say that our knives are handed down and offered from generation to generation, such as Le Thiers® with lock-back system, which allows a safe use. Much more than knives, our Le Thiers made in France are true life partners.

Le Saint-Bernard : a legendary mountain fellow.

The "GUILLOCHE" pattern is our premium range : in addition of the classical finition, your knife will have plates and back of the blade fully chiseled.

 

The name "Saint-Bernard" originates from the Great St Bernard Hospice, a traveller’s hospice on the often treacherous St. Bernard Pass in the Alps, between Switzerland and Italy. The pass, the lodge, and the dogs are named for Bernard of Menthon, the monk who established the station 1000 years ago. It was originally bred as a working dog, then later to rescue people who were lost in the snow. They carried a mythical small barrel of brandy around their neck to revive frozen mountaineers. The Napoleon's soldiers' chronicles tell of how many lives were saved by the Saint-Bernard. Their heroic behaviour gave birth to the motto "Nobility, dedication, sacrifice". This motto inspires the St. Bernard knife.  The enduring strength, humble beginnings and unfailing craftsmanship are tribute to the name.

Besides its cunning design, this knife features our precision mechanism with its smooth opening system and secure locking blade.

My Laguiole arrived today and it is a real work of art, which I will treasure and eventually pass down to my son (not too soon I hope) One day I hope I will be in a position to buy a Damascus version.
