The K Sabatier Difference

K Sabatier has been forging knives in Thiers - the knife-making capital of France - for generations. The Au Carbone Olive Wood line pairs high carbon steel with a handle material as characterful as the blade itself: olive wood, with its distinctive grain and natural warmth, secured to the tang with three stainless rivets. High carbon steel takes a finer, keener edge than stainless and responds exceptionally well to sharpening - the more you use and maintain it, the better it performs. At 230mm, this is the blade for cooks who want maximum reach - long enough to slice a whole salmon fillet or carve a roast in uninterrupted strokes, with the weight and authority that a shorter blade simply can't deliver.

Care & Maintenance

• Hand wash only, never dishwasher
• Dry immediately after every use - carbon steel will rust if left wet
• Apply a light coat of food-safe oil if storing for extended periods
• Expect a natural patina to develop over time - this is normal and protective
• Do not soak or leave the olive wood handle wet
• Occasionally treat the olive wood handle with a food-safe wood oil to keep it conditioned
• Sharpen with a whetstone - carbon steel responds exceptionally well to sharpening
