Heritage & Use

The Sabatier Nogent identification is retained from the existing listing without adding a workshop history or production era. Nogent is recorded as the handle style. A flexible slicer can accommodate controlled cuts around boneless ingredients, but flexibility alone does not guarantee paper-thin slices or reduced waste. This blade is not presented as rare or inherently sharper than stainless steel. Assess its condition before use and avoid forcing or excessively bending the blade.

Care & Maintenance

• Hand wash only; never use a dishwasher
• Dry immediately and avoid soaking the handle
• Remove active rust and apply a light coat of food-safe blade oil before extended storage
• Hone only if appropriate for the existing edge and flexible blade, with gentle pressure and suitable support
• Sharpen on suitable stones following the existing double bevel, or consult a specialist
• Avoid bones, frozen food, impact work and twisting through hard ingredients
• Store clean and dry in a protective sleeve or knife roll without bending the blade
