Care instructions

We recommend wiping the blade by hand with a soft sponge.
Do not leave in prolonged contact with water, a heat source or chemical products.
Avoid strong temperature variations.
Store the knife in its pouch.

Wipe the handle from time to time with a drop of linseed oil or olive oil to restore its shine.

Remove any deposits of material that may slip inside the mechanism and affect the operation of the knife.

Sharpen the edge as soon as the knife seems to cut a little less well.

Feeling from the workshop

LE THIERS® knife was created in July 1994 by the “Confrérie du couteau Le Thiers” (Le Thiers knife brotherhood).
It is a protected model for its shape, the traceability of its components and its territoriality: only a cutler established in the Thiers area for at least 5 years can make a Le Thiers knife.
