Your questions about our Made in France gifts
How can I be sure my knife is really made in France?
It's our main commitment. Our kitchen and pocket knives are made in our workshops in Thiers, and the items made in France carry the French tricolor flag on their product page. Our certifications are official guarantees that recognize the excellence of our French know-how.
Is a forged knife like the Georges really better for everyday use?
Yes, because forging creates a sturdier, better-balanced and more durable knife. For someone who cooks every day, the difference in comfort and performance is noticeable. It's a gift that turns a chore into a pleasure.
Is the company's environmental commitment concrete?
Absolutely. Beyond certifications, we have put very concrete actions in place, such as a closed-loop system that recycles 100% of the cooling water in our factories.
