The "couteau de chef" is the classic French chef's knife and as such has a long tradition. Or as it is abbreviated in the language of gourmets: grand tradi! With its short, high blade, it is easy to guide with the hand holding the food to be cut and is also suitable as a weighing knife. Easy to care for and therefore absolutely suitable for everyday use, the sharp blade of the Grand Tradi chef's knife is made from stainless knife steel in the long-established knife manufacturer Goyon Chazeau in Auvergne. But watch out: With its carefully fitted oak handles, this chef's knife, which is only available from us in this version, should not be put in the dishwasher. D'accord?

Since 1953 you find the Coutellerie Goyon-Chazeau seven kilometres east of the French city of knives, Thiers in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. While there used to be numerous smithies in the region, which has been known for its cutlery for seven centuries, the knife manufacture in La Monnerie-le-Montel is now one of the few that still cultivates traditional craft techniques. True to their conviction, they produce completely locally. In 2013, the French state awarded the third-generation family business a label, the EPV (Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant), for its commitment to preserving traditional craftsmanship in cutlery production.
