8 knives any collector SHOULD own!

## The origin of Sabatier


As the name might already suggest, these kitchen knives come from France. From Thiers, to be exact. Ever since the Middle ages knives are forged in this small village in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. Today over 80% of the French kitchen knife production takes place in Thiers, including most authentic Laguiole knives. The city of Thiers is therefore also considered to be the knife capital of France, similar to what Solingen means to Germany.


At the start of the nineteenth century the production of the Sabatier knives also started in Thiers. At the time there were no laws that offered brand names protection. That is why there is some uncertainty about who exactly produced the first Sabatier knives. It is also the reason why today everyone can still use the Sabatier name. We do know, however, that there were two families - both named Sabatier - who can be considered to be the founders. One of them still exists today as the brand Sabatier Perrier. The company of the other Sabatier family has since been taken over by a large Canadian cooking empire.


## The name of the Sabatier brands


The top-quality Sabatier knives are still made in Thiers. A couple of top-quality brands joined forces to make sure that production under the name 'Sabatier' alone is prohibited. At least one word needs to be added to be able to make a distinction between manufacturers. Take, for instance, Lion Sabatier, one of the most famous Sabatiers manufacturers, and a brand we sell at Knivesantools. There are also other brands that use the original production process and produce top-quality knives. This leaves you with knives you can enjoy your entire life. It is not that surprising that these knives are more expensive.


## You get what you pay for


So let's say you come across a really cheap Sabatier chef's knife or even a complete knife set which is only slightly more expensive. They might look good and 'real' but you can assume that they won't last a lifetime. These types are made from inferior steel. A top-quality brand such as Lion Sabatier, on the other hand, uses top-quality, stainless types of steel such as ice hardened X50CrMoV15 and the Swedish Sandvik 14C28N.


In addition, a traditional Sabatier knife is completely forged which means that the blade, bolster and tang are forged from one piece of steel. The design and grind is applied by hand, by a local sharpening specialist. This specialist is trained for precisely this purpose. This cannot be said about the employees who produce cheap 'Sabatiers' in poor conditions.


The production of inferior Sabatier versions takes place in the famous Asian low-wage countries, but also 'simply' in France. So don't be fooled by a label as 'Made in France' or 'Vrai Sabatier'. If the price seems to be too good to be true, this is usually always the case. A good Sabatier knife is valuable and cannot be produced for little money.

Sabatier® knives: Get the story behind the brand

Somewhere in the distance a clock strikes nine. The sounds, however, almost don’t reach your living room because of the October rain tapping on your windows. The heater warms up the room and after a long day at work you finally find yourself on your couch with a nice warm blanket on your lap. That is what a real autumn night feels like. However, something is still missing…


October is a month filled with doubt: warm winter coat or no? A month when we get ready for winter and during which darkness sets in a little earlier every single day. But it is also a month of warm blankets and a great time spent with friends or family. However, above all, October is a wine month! 


## Wine harvest: the perfect moment


In September most winegrowers already start harvesting their grapes. The winegrower who is not afraid to take a chance, however, waits until October to harvest his grapes. After all, the longer the grapes can ripen the better the wine. However, also the bigger the changes of wintery weather that could destroy the entire harvest. Fortunately, it was a great wine year, with enough sun and hardly any heavy (rain) showers and we can definitely say that the prospects for October also look good!


We would like to propose a toast to a good wine year. And we love to so in style. We might not be selling wine, but we do sell everything for the best wine experience! Do you see yourself sitting there with that blanket on your lap? Stunning glasses on the table, a bottle of wine next to it. Opening that bottle is then, of course, only possible if you do it right. Because, let’s be honest, that wood-aged Bordeaux will taste even better if you open it with a handmade olive wood sommeliers knife, listening to the amazing name of Forge de Laguiole.

Du vin, du pain, du fromage: October is wine and cheese month!

Steak knives, however, are often universally used. You can also use them to cut sausages or pizzas. That is where the serrated edge can come in handy. As a result the choice for a plain edge or serrated edge primarily depends on what you will use the knife for. Is it a real ‘steak knife’ or do your prefer a table knife?

## Serrated Laguiole knives

Finally we would also like to say something about serrated [Laguiole knives](kato://content/migrated_pageid_108). Laguiole knives are handmade table and pocket knives from the French Aubrac region. Behind these knives lies a centuries-old tradition of craftsmanship, in which each knife is completely forged by one knife maker. It is therefore not that surprising that these knives are rather expensive.

Characterizing for these knives is the razor-sharp edge. These are knives with a plain edge, so no serrations! They are specifically made to cut meat. The real Laguiole knife-maker knows that this is much more difficult with a serrated knife. In addition, he values a razor-sharp blade. As such, authentic Laguiole knives will never be enhanced with serrations. Unfortunately the market is still overflowing with serrated knives that still carry the (non-protected) Laguiole name. Are you looking for an original handmade Laguiole? If so you will know that if it is enhanced with serrations it isn’t an original.
