Heritage & Use

The earlier listing places Sabatier within the French knife-making tradition associated with Thiers. This context is retained without assigning the set to a particular workshop, series or production date. Its recorded narrative identifies the 165mm blade as a chef's knife and the 115mm blade as a utility knife; the 145mm knife's type is not specified. The three sizes offer options for everyday preparation and smaller, controlled cutting tasks. Stainless steel supports straightforward care, while the wood handles benefit from careful washing and immediate drying. Original matching-set provenance has not been established.

Care & Maintenance

• Hand wash only; never use a dishwasher
• Dry immediately after washing and do not soak the wood handles
• Hone carefully on a suitable honing steel as needed, preserving each knife's existing double-bevel geometry
• Sharpen on suitable whetstones or use a professional sharpener
• Store clean and dry on a suitable rack or in a knife block with edges protected
