Why This Knife Works

At 100mm, this vintage French paring knife is a compact, nimble tool built for precision work - peeling, trimming, segmenting citrus, and any task where control matters more than reach. The inox steel blade resists corrosion and holds a reliable edge through daily use, while the traditional wood handle develops a warm, personal feel over time. French knife-making at this scale was built for the professional kitchen, where longevity and consistency mattered above all else. A vintage example in this condition is a working piece of culinary history.

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 and cracking
• 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
