The Sauveterre brand was founded by Guy Vialis and embodies the high-quality knife-making tradition of the Aveyron region. The Sauveterre knife, designed by Henri Viallon, is based on a 19th-century model and is characterised by its unique, leaf-shaped blade, reminiscent of a sage leaf. The smithy is located in the medieval village of Sauveterre-de-Rouergue, one of the most beautiful villages in France, famous for its historic bastide. Today, the brand is carried on by Christian Valat, the owner of the renowned Laguiole-en-Aubrac smithy.
