Our selection of cutlery, tableware
and kitchen products

Kai

KAI Japanese knives are among the finest references in the culinary world. The brand's products boast a unique reputation and enjoy a status as cult objects. Founded in 1908 in Seki, one of the world's three major cutlery centers, KAI develops cutlery products based on a tradition dating back over a century. KAI products are characterized by their perfect sharpness and long lifespan, an exemplary quality rooted in Japanese culture and the art of samurai sword forging.

Victorinox

The brand was born in 1884 when Karl Elsener opened his cutlery workshop in Ibach, Switzerland. Today, Victorinox is an international company driven by strong values: innovation, design, and functionality. The company is recognized worldwide for its iconic product: the Swiss Army knife. Offering maximum functionality in a minimal format, it is an essential accessory for adventurers and a faithful travel companion. Victorinox also offers a range of knives and accessories in the realm of tableware and kitchen.

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!

Opinel

The Opinel company is located in the heart of the Alps in Chambéry. The adventure began in 1890 when Joseph Opinel invented the pocket knife that bears his name today. The Opinel is recognized as an essential folding knife, simple, functional, and clever, used for everyday activities. The Opinel brand has developed for over 130 years around different ranges of pocket knives for DIY, gardening, outdoor activities, as well as knives dedicated to tableware and kitchen use.

Zwilling

Founded in 1731 in Solingen, Germany, Zwilling has inherited a longstanding tradition of crafting high-quality kitchenware. The brand takes its name from the twin symbol, which represents quality and durability. Zwilling is committed to providing products that perfectly blend tradition with cutting-edge technology. Zwilling kitchen knives, in particular, are renowned for their exceptional precision, long-lasting sharpness, and ergonomic design. Each blade is meticulously forged, a result of artisanal expertise passed down through generations.

Horl

The story of the German brand HORL begins with a simple yet ambitious idea. Otmar and Timo, father and son, decide to create a new concept of a rolling sharpener. The family business thus enters the world of cutlery in 2016 with the launch of the first generation of HORL sharpeners.
Located at the foot of the Black Forest, in the city of Freiburg im Breisgau, the HORL company manufactures these sharpeners with the utmost care: from the selection of materials to the final assembly, including engraving. The brand's ambition is above all to offer a unique experience to its customers and to become an integral part of kitchens worldwide.

Auzier

Based in Hérault in the South of France, the designer Benjamin Auzier specializes in crafting Mediterranean knives, with his flagship product being the "Petit Jouteur." This modern and design oyster knife is inspired by the know-how and traditions of oyster farmers in the Thau Basin. The ‘Petit Jouteur’ is designed to provide a comfortable grip for both left and right-handed users. Its original drop-shaped form, balanced and symmetrical, with a length of 12 centimeters, adapts to all hand sizes. Its ergonomic design, combined with the sturdy handle made of wood or shell, makes it very practical to use.

Microplane

Microplane is a key player in the culinary world and is recognized worldwide for its famous graters. Their story began in 1994 when a Canadian homemaker had the idea to use her husband's woodworking tools to make fine orange zest for her cake.

Its expertise and reputation for excellence have allowed it to become a staple in the kitchens of top restaurants, bakery professionals, and pastry chefs.
