Why is giving a TB-1648 knife as a gesture of commitment?
Behind every knife we make lies a strong commitment to quality, local craftsmanship, and the environment. Choosing a TB Groupe product means supporting this approach.
- Certified quality: We are the first French cutler to be ISO 9001 certified and awarded the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (EPV) label. Each product undergoes around twenty checks before leaving our workshops. This guarantees you're giving an impeccable gift.
- French craftsmanship: We control the manufacturing process in Thiers. You are giving a gift that supports employment and perpetuates a centuries-old cutlery tradition.
- Respect for the environment: Located in the heart of a Regional Natural Park, we are ISO 14001 certified. We recycle 100% of the water used in our machines and have received awards for our environmental initiatives. It's a gift that's also a gesture for the planet.
Your questions about our Made in France gifts
How can I be sure that my knife is actually made in France?
This is our primary commitment. The vast majority of our production takes place in our workshops in Thiers. Our certifications are official guarantees that recognize the excellence of our French craftsmanship.
Is a forged knife like the Georges really better for everyday use?
Yes, because forging creates a stronger, better-balanced, and more durable knife. For someone who cooks every day, the difference in comfort and performance is significant. It's a gift that transforms a chore into a pleasure.
Is the company's environmental commitment concrete?
Absolutely. Beyond certifications, we have implemented very concrete actions, such as a closed-loop system that recycles 100% of the cooling water from our factories.
