Heritage and Character

Sabatier is one of the oldest and most recognised names in French cutlery, originating from the Thiers region - France's knife-making capital since the Middle Ages. The carving knife is the classic Sunday roast tool: narrower than a chef's knife, longer and stiffer than a slicer, designed to portion meat at the table or workbench with clean, authoritative cuts. At 220mm in high carbon steel, this knife takes and holds a working edge that makes carving feel effortless. The POM handle is the professional kitchen standard - hygienic, grippy when wet, and built for heavy use. A genuinely useful vintage French kitchen tool.

Care and Maintenance

• Hand wash only - never dishwasher
• Dry immediately after use to prevent rust
• Hone regularly on a smooth steel or ceramic rod
• Sharpen on water stones or a whetstone (1000/3000 grit)
• Store on a magnetic rack or in a knife roll - never loose in a drawer
