Chambriard Thiers sommelier knife birchwood

Excellently crafted singlestep THIERS sommelier knife PAULÉE from the CHAMBRIARD forge based in Thiers, the knife capital of France. The beautifully shaped, slender waiter's knife is 100% handcrafted in Thiers.

It fits perfectly in the hand. With just one stroke, even a long cork can be perfectly pulled out of the bottle. The spiral with core (denotes the inner space between the spiral) distributes the pulling force evenly and thus prevents the cork from breaking. The leverage is optimally balanced and makes it easier to pull out.

The handle scales were made of birchwood. The sommelier's resort has been  guilloched by hand. A  handmade leather case is included in the delivery.

"La Paulée" is a friendly event at the end of the harvest. All the winegrowers of a town meet here and bring their best wine to enjoy with the others over a meal. This tradition is particularly popular in Burgundy. The Thiers "Paulée" waiter's knife from Maison Chambriard is a homage to the work of the winegrowers and the knifemakers at the same time!

CHAMBRIARD

Coutellerie CHAMBRIARD Cutlery in Thiers

In the heart of Thiers, the knife capital of France, is the forge and sales store of the CHAMBRIARD family.
The store is known beyond the country's borders. Over 5000 different items of cutlery from more than 160 manufacturers can be found there. Around 100 of these blacksmiths are based in Thiers itself.

The family-run business is open seven days a week, 360 days a year from Monday to Sunday.

In 1998, the first THIERS knife CHAMBRIARD model Compagnon was created in the forge, followed by other models until 2005.
Each Thiers knife model must be presented to a commission for approval. This committee decides whether the knife conforms to the rules and may bear the name Le Thiers.

Philippe Chambriard is assisted by his brother Dominique in the purely manual production process. In the meantime, Philippe's sons, Pierre-Alexandre and Valentin, also work in the family business.

The small forge now has many fans, because the quality of workmanship is absolutely convincing!
