Why This Knife Works

At 210mm, this Nogent-style butcher knife has the reach and weight to handle serious protein work - breaking down whole chickens, trimming large cuts, portioning roasts, and working around bone with confidence and control. The Inox stainless steel blade holds a reliable edge and resists the moisture of a busy prep bench, while the traditional wood handle provides a warm, secure grip that synthetic materials rarely replicate. The Nogent silhouette - with its distinctive bolster and balanced profile - is one of the most enduring designs in French cutlery, built for professional kitchens where durability and performance were non-negotiable. This is a working knife with genuine provenance.

Care and Maintenance

• Hand wash only - never dishwasher
• Dry immediately after washing to protect both the blade and the wood handle
• Condition the wood handle occasionally with food-safe mineral oil to prevent drying
• Hone regularly to maintain the edge
• Sharpen on a whetstone or with a professional sharpener as needed
• Store in a knife roll or on a magnetic strip - never loose in a drawer
