A collaboration between Bernal Cutlery and K Sabatier, this 5.75" bolsterless chef knife boasts a XC75 carbon steel blade with brass riveted palissander handle. This Bernal Cutlery exclusive palissander handled carbon steel knife has a ground-down bolster to make sharpening easier. Paying homage to the original Sabatier Ideal model of the 1920s, the Nouvel Ideal 5.75" knife draws its inspiration from the first iteration of this quintessentially French knife design. 

 

Since 1834, K Sabatier has been the dedicated brand of Sabatier Aine & Perrier, a family cutlery business started by Philippe Sabatier in the early 1800’s. The business has been passed down 8 generations, and has remained located in the hills of Thiers, France in the village of Bellevue. They continue to run their company with pride and precision, keeping all aspects of the manufacturing process within the area of Thiers.

This is a carbon steel knife. Carbon steel is expected to develop a dark patina with use. It needs to be hand washed and towel dried soon after use. Do not air dry. Do not put it in the dishwasher. Long exposure to moisture and debris will result in rust. Any rust development should be removed with a light abrasive.

Use on a quality wooden cutting board will help the knife stay sharper for longer. Use on hard surfaces like plates and bamboo will reduce the edge life and can result in edge damage.
