Sabatier cutlery was created in the Thiers region of France at the beginning of the last century. Sabatier represents a professional type of knife for butchers and cooks and the name is actually used by several manufacturers, each of whom adding a distinguishing mark or phrase to brand.
Sabatier Cutlery is not a Brand
There is not a company that owns the Sabatier brand. Sabatier cutlery is an ancient name and it appeared at a time when there was no French legislation for the property of the brands. A large number of Sabatier knives that are bear the name Sabatier are available these days, but they are not always made in France or related to the famous brand in any way. This is very much like what happened to the term Champagne, which technically only applies to certain wine produced from that region and yet has come to mean the type of wine produced elsewhere in the world.
Sabatier cutlery is always made from stainless steel. It is a kind of steel that is used extensively in the world of kitchen cutlery and it provides a very good concession between the cutting performance and the resistance to corrosion of other metals. The carbon steel knives are known to provide better cutting than the stainless steel. They are very simple to be sharpened too. Nevertheless, the carbon steel knives need particular care taking into account the fact that they oxidize or rust rapidly.
The parts of the Sabatier cutlery are very meticulously assembled. There are no spaces or looseness between the bolster and tang, between the tang and handle or between the bolster and handle. It is a very important characteristic for hygienic reasons. This way, there is no risk of foreign particles to penetrate between the parts of the knife. The blade as well as the handle does not show any irregularities where the bacteria might settle.
All the parts that a Sabatier knife is made of are completely hand-polished. It is a process that makes cutlery efficient as well as very elegant. The blade of the Sabatier knife has a very fine surface that is a sign of a high-quality surface. The cutting performance and the resistance at corrosion make Sabatier cutlery highly sought after.
The bolster and the handle of the Sabatier knives are especially designed in order to offer a secure grip. The knife will rarely slip from your hand. The handle is ergonomically designed and it has the proper weight that allows a tireless and safe use. The Sabatier cutlery is fully forged from a single piece of steel.
The Sabatier cutlery represents a high-quality brand for your kitchen that will make every cook turn into a chef. Make sure you are purchasing true Sabatier cutlery that is made in France. There are various imitations, including those made in the United States. That is not to say that all off-brands are cheap or poorly made, just that only the ones made in France can claim the Sabatier cutlery name.
