Sabatier knives are 100% forged from a single piece of metal. The knife is then worked, the handle is mounted and the whole knife is polished by specialized workers. All of our products are produced in the cutlery basin of THIERS - FRANCE A panel of testers use each of the following knives for specific tasks and rate them for how comfortable the handles feel: Non visible tang :this type of tang consists of a simple steel stem without any holes, thus the handle cannot be assembled with rivets. Welcome to Sabatier Knives UK. 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. The handle is made of ABS, which is a synthetic material widely used in several kitchen products. In addition, the handle has three rivets that provide stability to the handle. Last but not least, the handle has an ergonomic design that allows you to hold the knife with great comfort.

Massive bolster: this type of bolster can be forged, moulded, or welded. As it name suggests, this type of bolster is heavier, and its weight plays an important role in providing the perfect balance between the blade and the handle. The chef's, utility and paring knives are used out of the box to slice through a piece of paper. The same test is carried out after the cutting tasks to see if blades have dulled. Comfort Assembling by moulding : in this method of assembling, the blade is directly inserted into a mould with the shape of the handle where the plastic material will be injected. This way, the handle gets moulded with the blade already attached to it. - The blade : Besides its great quality and functionality, this knife is also a good-looking utensil. It has a satin polish all over its surface, which gives the knife a glossy, attractive design. When preparing a dish or a meal, you must use your paring knife. You must have it close to your work plan.Fully forged : undoubtedly the most solid type of blade that you can have. A 100% knife is more durable and robust than the rest of kitchen knives. The process of creating a fully forged blade consists in heating and compressing a round steel bar until a bubble is created. Next, the entire blade is stamped from the bubble created in the previous step. Finally, the full tang blade is cut out. This whole forging process is quite costly, and that is why fully forged kitchen knives are more expensive. Find here our entire variety of knives from the Ideal 100% forged series made by Sabatier.
