Heritage & Use

No individual maker, documented production date or workshop history has been established for this set. Nogent-style is retained as the recorded handle description, without assuming a particular manufacturer or balance. Earlier antique-grade steel, extraordinary cutting power and superiority over modern production claims are not supported by verified specifications. Assess each knife's blade, handle and edge before food preparation. Stainless steel offers corrosion resistance but still benefits from prompt cleaning and drying.

Care & Maintenance

• Hand wash only; never use a dishwasher
• Dry immediately and avoid soaking the wood handles
• Hone only where appropriate for each knife's confirmed edge geometry and condition
• Sharpen on suitable stones following each existing bevel, or consult a specialist
• Apply a light coat of food-safe oil to the blades before extended storage if needed
• Store clean and dry with every edge protected; avoid loose drawers
