Why This Knife Works

The Nogent silhouette is one of France's most enduring contributions to professional knife design - a slim, elegant profile born in the workshops of Thiers and built for the kind of close, controlled work that larger blades simply cannot do. At 90mm, this paring knife sits in the sweet spot for detail tasks: peeling, trimming, segmenting citrus, scoring, and any prep where precision matters more than reach. The inox steel blade resists corrosion and holds a clean, serviceable edge through daily use, while the POM handle is dense, non-porous, and comfortable in the hand for extended sessions. A vintage French paring knife with this profile and condition is a genuine find - the kind of tool that earns its place on the bench and stays there.

Care and Maintenance

• Hand wash only - never dishwasher
• Dry immediately after washing to protect the blade
• Hone regularly on a fine honing rod to maintain the edge
• Sharpen on a whetstone or with a professional sharpener as needed
• Store in a knife roll or protective sleeve - never loose in a drawer
