First of all, I would like to apologize myself for the language translation which certainly contains some spelling and grammatical mistakes. I did myself and my mother tongue is the FRENCH ...... All the site is not yet completely translated but I'm working on doing it. Thanks for your understanding.
I have a passion since years for knives and their realization.
I got some training courses with professional cutlers who transmitted me a little part of their knowledge. That enabled me to understand the principles of the forging and the cutlery. I then arranged a small workshop in the south of FRANCE in which one can find a station of polishing, a drilling machine column as well as a gas forge and a backstand which I manufactured myself and other tools I use to make my knives.
This workshop is where I spend my spare time to imagine knives models, where I forge steel to make blades and where I still learn and learn more with each one of my new achievements. I give to all new knife a special attention so that the end product is manufactured with an excellent quality, that the finishing are neat and that its capacity of cut is perfect and durable. I am not professional Blacksmith knifemaker, I realize by passion and it is unpretentiously that I wish you to discover through this site some of my achievements.
