Experience 190 Years of French Knife-Making in a Classic 230mm Chef's Knife
The Sabatier Chef's Knife 230mm is forged in Thiers, France from a single mass of carbon steel - the blade length favoured by professional French chefs for its balance of reach, leverage, and control across every cutting task.
The Specs

Blade length: 230mm (9 in.)
Handle: Black POM, hand-set on the tang with three brass rivets
Construction: 100% forged - tempered, ground, and polished crosswise
Origin: Handcrafted in Thiers, France
The Professional's Choice
The 230mm chef's knife is the workhorse of the professional French kitchen - long enough for slicing roasts and breaking down large vegetables, short enough for precise, controlled work. Carbon steel takes a finer edge than stainless and holds it longer under hard use, the reason professional kitchens have relied on it for centuries. Forged from a single mass of steel, the blade, bolster, and tang are one continuous piece for exceptional balance and durability. The black POM handle is hand-set on the full tang with three brass rivets for a secure, professional grip.
Care & Maintenance
Hand wash only - never dishwasher
Wipe dry immediately after use - carbon steel will rust if left wet
Apply a light coat of food-safe oil occasionally to protect the blade
Sharpen with a whetstone or professional sharpening service when needed
A natural patina will develop with use - this is normal and protects the steel
Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife block to protect the edge
