Sauveterre

Founded in 1241, Sauveterre de Rouergue is a magnificent Royal Bastide from the 13th century located in the heart of Aveyron. In 1456, by royal decision, the village became an important center for cutlery. However, during the 16th century, the activity eventually ceased due to religious wars and coal shortages. In 1997, for the needs of the telefilm "La clé des champs" by Antenne 3, the Sauveterre knife was created. Its design is largely inspired by the original Laguiole knife: the Laguiole Droit. Made entirely by hand, it features the emblem of the Sauveterre village: the sage leaf. At the level of the knife's fly, between the blade and the spring, the cutlers create a beautiful handcarving to reveal an elegant sage leaf. In the Sauveterre knife collection, you will find two folding knives in 9 and 11cm, beautiful table knives, and a bread knife. Since 2007, the cutlery has also been producing a new model: the Camembert with astonishing packaging, befitting the name of the knife!
