C A R E

We wanted a knife that was extremely simple and to the point. We wanted a knife without a point to make it as non-aggressive as possible. We wanted an overall shape that was really satisfying for the mind, combined with a formidable cutting edge.

We wanted a knife that could lend itself to a wide range of interpretations and variations, both in terms of the materials used and the different ways of mounting the handle. In the world of gastronomy, it is reserved for Hugo Roellinger and his restaurant Le Coquillage.

Above all, we wanted a knife that required great care when handling. This knife is perfectly symmetrical, so it's very easy to pick it up upside down if you don't concentrate. And that's exactly what we wanted to do: a knife as a meditation exercise.
Sharp things demand that we look at them carefully, but let these knives teach us an additional lesson: all things deserve to be looked at carefully...
That's why we've named this knife C A R E, playing on its rather square shape and the English word for attention: Care.

The HOW + WHY of this knife is this:
- A knife that has been designed for use in the kitchen and at the table. We wanted the chef and the guest to be able to use the same tool so that the gesture of one is extended into the gesture of the other. Like a handshake with an inter-posed knife. It is used as a table knife in many Michelin-starred restaurants.
- We also wanted to create a knife with limited dimensions that would still be as effective as a chef's knife. It was important for this knife to be nomadic and to be able to follow us on our weekends. People used to travel with their cutlery, and seeing how poorly sharpened kitchen knives are among most of our friends, we thought it was high time to revive this tradition...

This knife comes in two sizes: a small paring knife (8.5 cm cutting edge) and a medium-sized knife (11 cm cutting edge), but shaped to do the same job as a much larger knife.

Our   ‘C A S T O R’   knife is a little all-rounder. Shaped like a beaver's tail with incive marks on the wood...

Can't see an image of this knife? That's only to be expected. The prototypes are still on our workbenches :)

It's a tribute to this incredible animal for its ingenuity, its discretion and its ability to bring back life in all its richness to the places where it makes its home. An umbrella species that could well help to shelter us from ourselves...
Rewilding as one of the most successful signs of human culture?
