Sauveterre knife chiseled juniper damascus blade 11 cm
The Sauveterre knife was designed by Henri Viallon from a model of a knife from the Aveyron region of the nineteenth century. The distinctive feature of this knife is a leaf-shaped blade reminiscent of a sage leaf and a sage leaf on the nib.
The handle of this elegant knife is made of beautifully grained juniper. The taut back spring is forged. It ends in a guilloche sage leaf. The plates are also handcarved. The blade is made of carbon damascus steel (not stainless). For easier opening of the knife, the blade is equipped with a nail cut.
The Sauveterre, bears the name of a village in Aveyron where the forge is located.
Founded around 1241, Sauveterre de Rouergue, a medieval village considered one of the most beautiful villages in France, is a beautiful 13th century bastide built around the "Place des Arcades".
Guy Vialis was the founder of the SAUVETERRE brand. After his death, Chrsitian Valat is now the current owner of the small "SAUVETERRE" forge. Monsieur Valat is also the owner of the world-famous Laguiole en Aubrac forge.
