...Chambriard knives can be thought of as a modern twist on the traditional Laguiole style knife with contemporary lines and form. But in reality they have a namesake similar to Laguiole knives named after the town in which they are produced. Produced in Thiers, France this style is commonly referred to as the "Theirs"style.
The detail and beauty of Chambriard knives are breathtaking. They are hand crafted using very fine materials. I can also say that dealing with the owner Phillipe Chambraid for nearly ten years has been a treat. Not only are the knives of extremely high quality, the way the company operates it's business and stands behind it's products is as good as it gets!
The blades of all Chambriard knives arel Sandvik 12c27 Swedish steel. This is the preferred steel by most of the high-end French cutlers. It has a high carbon level and has many of the qualities we have come to appreciate in carbon steel, but also has the advantage of being stainless.
The handles of these fine knives are made from top grade, exotic materials including Ebony, Amourette, Rosewood, Ebony, natural horn tip, stag and Juniper.
Each Chambriard knife is 100% handcrafted and each is decorated with craftsman's whim hand file work on the back spring.
Chambriard knives brings together all the best aspects of what a fine knife making company should be. They stand behind the quality of their knives. They make every knife one at a time by hand using techniques honed over many generations.
'Le Thiers' stands out in their production of cutlery. Named after the French town, which is known as the the capital of the cutlery industry, this outstanding knife represents a culmination of the ancestral know-how of longstanding cutlery tradition
Here is a brief summary of the history of THIERS:
