Why This Knife Works

A flexible slicing knife is a specialist tool - and in the hands of someone who knows how to use it, it is extraordinary. The flex in the blade allows it to follow the contours of fish, poultry, and boneless cuts, hugging the surface and producing paper-thin slices with minimal waste. This vintage Sabatier Nogent example in carbon steel takes that capability to another level: carbon steel sharpens to a keener edge than stainless and responds to a whetstone with a precision that makes fine slicing work feel effortless. The Nogent handle design is ergonomic and time-tested. A flexible carbon steel slicer from Sabatier is a rare find in any condition - in vintage form, it is a genuine treasure.

Care and Maintenance

• Hand wash only - never dishwasher
• Dry immediately and thoroughly after every use to prevent rust
• Apply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil or camellia oil to the blade after drying
• Hone regularly on a fine honing rod to maintain the edge
• Sharpen on a whetstone - carbon steel responds exceptionally well
• Store in a knife roll or protective sleeve - the flexible blade needs protection from contact
