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 slicing knife is narrower and more flexible than a chef's knife, with a profile optimised for long, gliding cuts rather than chopping or rocking. At 220mm in high carbon steel, this knife takes a fine, sustained edge that makes clean slicing effortless - the kind of edge that stainless steel of equivalent hardness cannot achieve. The POM handle is the professional kitchen standard: hygienic, grippy, and built for heavy daily use. A specialist French kitchen tool that earns its place on any serious cook's rack.

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
