We have chosen ‘Sabatier Frères’ as the prime example of the many French-made kitchen knives labelled ‘Sabatier’. This superb professional range is manufactured by Coutellerie Au Nain, a small specialist firm in St. Rémy-sur-Durolle, the traditional cutlery region in central France. The secret of ‘Sabatier K’ lies in its structure. The massive forged tang goes right through the length of the handle, giving strength and an excellent balance. Knives are riveted with aluminium. Handles are made of a newly developed combination of ABS/fibreglass. A sophisticated moulding process has eliminated any gap between handle and metal part of the bolster. The serrated blade is particularly suited to slicing through soft fruits and vegetables without compressing their flesh, or for tackling foods with tough skins, such as cucumbers and tomatoes.This item is age restrictedOur delivery partner will ask to check identification such as a photocard driving licence or passport if the recipient looks under 25 years old.
