The Sabatier name has been synonymous with French kitchen knives since the 19th century, born in the cutlery town of Thiers - France's answer to Solingen and Seki. High carbon steel was the professional's choice long before stainless took over: it sharpens to a finer edge, responds faster on a honing steel, and develops a natural patina that tells the story of a working kitchen. At 250mm, this chef knife has the length to rock through large vegetables and break down proteins with authority. The POM handle is virtually indestructible - resistant to heat, moisture, and impact - making it the handle material of choice in professional kitchens worldwide. A serious tool for a serious cook.

Care & Maintenance

• Hand wash only - never dishwasher
• Dry immediately after use to prevent rust
• Hone regularly on a honing steel before each use
• Sharpen on a whetstone (1000/3000 grit) or with a professional sharpener
• Store on a magnetic rack or in a knife block - never loose in a drawer
