Description

Au Sabot pocket knife, La Suisse, brass, carbon steel, not stainless, 9cmKnives in the Swiss style, also known as 'Sujet', existed as early as the 17th century.Initially made with ivory and bone, they were only accessible to the wealthy.This gave rise to the idea of using brass, on which motifs were imprinted using bronze models.These motifs represent scenes from everyday life, such as B. Ball sports and athletics in this model.The knives are rustic in their texture and extremely flat.As was traditionally the practice, the blade is still forged from fine-grain carbon steel.Each region has its own knives, but the cutlery capital is and will remain Thiers, which has been a preferred manufacturer on behalf of regional dealers for more than a century.'Au Sabot' has been a masterpiece of this tradition since 1870 and brings a unique quality with knowledge and complete manual work into all areas of production.!!!
