Sabatier Frères plain blade curved paring knife 8cm

We have chosen ‘Sabatier Frères’ as the prime example of the many French-made kitchen knives labelled ‘Sabatier’. This superb professional range is manufactured by Coutellerie Au Nain, a small specialist firm in St. Rémy-sur-Durolle, the traditional cutlery region in central France. The secret of ‘Sabatier K’ lies in its structure. The massive forged tang goes right through the length of the handle, giving strength and an excellent balance. Knives are riveted with aluminium. Handles are made of a newly developed combination of ABS/fibreglass. A sophisticated moulding process has eliminated any gap between handle and metal part of the bolster. Also known as a ‘Bird’s Beak’ or Tourné Knife, this Paring Knife has a short, curved blade designed to be used in the hand, rather than on a chopping board. Ideal for peeling, hulling and coring fruits and vegetables.
