Carving Knives

Our Sabatier carving knives are used for slicing meat and as such have a shallower blade than cook’s knives. This is to allow large pieces of meat to be cut into slices.


We stock carving knives in two blade lengths; 8 inch and 10 inch. The 8 inch Yatagan carver is a specialist carving knife and is perfect for dealing with large cuts of meat. The curve in the blade resembles the design of a traditional yatagan blade allowing the knife to penetrate through tendons and fat.

Carving Forks


To complement our selection of knives we are also pleased to offer two types of carving fork. These are made of stainless steel these 2 pronged forks are used to hold the meat steady as it is being sliced. The first has a straight 6.5 inch blade and is referred to as a bayonet fork. The second has a 6 inch curved blade and unsurprisingly is referred to as a curved blade.

WE BELIEVE IN QUALITY

We are a specialist kitchen knife retailer offering a range of high quality Sabatier knives made in Thiers, France by Thiers Issard under the Sabatier **** Elephant brand.

Whilst there are numerous knife manufacturers using the Sabatier brand, only those manufactured in Thiers using traditional methods by skilled craftsmen can truly be described as genuine Sabatier.

Shop All

Due to a complicated history, knives are sold under the Sabatier brand which have been made by numerous manufacturers, in different locations and to different standards.

All of knives are produced to the highest standard by Thiers-Issard in Thiers, the traditional centre of cutlery excellence in France and the historical home of Sabatier.

Thiers-Issard was founded in 1884 by M. Pierre Thiers who had a extraordinary reputation as a skilled blacksmith. When he created his company he added his wife’s name in order to avoid confusion with other local families of the same name.

If you are interested in the straight razors produced by Thiers-Issard these are available in the UK through The Invisible Edge.

This video presentation below provides more information about Thiers-Issard and the manufacturing processes they employ.

 

 

 

You may be wondering whether to choose a stainless or carbon steel knife. Most high street stores selling knives will only stock stainless steel knives. We offer a choice of stainless steel or carbon steel knives.

Essentially, carbon steel produces a finer edge than stainless but it can easily corode and will quickly discolour. More information may be found on our page Stainless or Carbon Steel?

Our Traditional Forged range of knives are forged from either 4116 Aissy Chrome Vanadium Stainless Steel or from C60 carbon steel, both with a hardness of around Rockwell 55. They have a riveted handle of black nylon, red stamina or white micarta.

Our Ideal range of knives with an aluminium bolster are made of polished molybdenium stainless steel with a riveted ABS handle. The steel hardness is minimum Rockwell 55.
