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. At 180mm, this is the smallest of the Sabatier chef's knives in this collection - preferred by cooks with smaller hands, those who work in tighter spaces, or anyone who favours control over reach. High carbon steel at this length means quick, responsive sharpening and a fine edge that stainless of equivalent hardness cannot match. The POM handle is the professional kitchen standard: hygienic, grippy under wet conditions, and built to outlast the cook. A compact French classic.

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
