Tableware Cantal

A l'Age de Bronze will delight lovers of antiques, decoration or collections. The shop is full of charm! Inside you will find old bistro zincs or 18th century woodwork. Valéry Besse, the owner, has also developed a cutlery shop. Laguiole or Thiers are in the spotlight. But he also created the Murat, of which he registered the model and the trademark. This pocket knife is handmade with wooden, ivory or mammoth molar handles.

The Destannes family has been running the cutlery shop in the rue des Frères since 1908, and it would seem that the premises have been used for the same activity since 1780. Gérard is the master of the shop. "A knife, I conceive it above all as a useful object", he explains. In a spirit of simplicity and sturdiness, the Aurillacois is the farmer's knife, with its genuine horn handle. The knife maker is 100% Auvergne-based. The craftsman customizes your knife free of charge with engraving on the blade. Gérard tells stories with his knives. A passion !
