Sabatier ★★★★ Elephant
About the square bolster series in walnut
This is Thiers-Issard's German-style Sabatier: still forged in one piece in Thiers, but with more curve toward the tip, so the knife rocks smoothly on the board. The bolster is forged square, the mitre carrée, for a crisp look and a secure stop for your fingers.
Blades are stainless X50CrMoV15 only, hardened to around 57 HRC. The handles are walnut, warm in the hand and different on every knife.

Care
- Wash by hand and dry straight away. Never put it in the dishwasher: it dulls the edge, harms the handle and voids the Thiers-Issard warranty.
- Hone on a steel regularly; sharpen on a whetstone when honing no longer brings the edge back.
- Cut on a wooden or plastic board, never on glass, stone or a plate.
- Give the walnut handle a little food-safe oil from time to time.
