Why This Set Works

There is something deeply satisfying about a matched set of vintage French paring knives - tools that were made to work, not to impress, and have endured because they do exactly that. Each knife in this set is fully forged from high carbon steel hardened to 58 HRC, giving it the kind of edge retention and sharpening response that modern stainless steel rarely matches. At just 0.3mm blade thickness, these are exceptionally fine cutters - precise, responsive, and light in the hand at around 27 grams each. The full tang construction ensures balance and longevity, while the traditional wood handles develop a warm, personal feel with use. Whether you are peeling, trimming, segmenting, or scoring, this set covers the close detail work that every serious kitchen demands. A one-of-a-kind vintage find from France.

Care and Maintenance

• Hand wash only - never dishwasher
• Dry immediately after washing - high carbon steel will rust if left wet
• Apply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil to the blades after drying to prevent oxidation
• Condition the wood handles 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
