Arts and crafts Carcassonne

The origin of these knives comes from Tulle in Corrèze where an enthusiast opened his own factory of craft knives in 2004. He then made his first pocket knife, the Corrèze man who immediately charms the most demanding in cutlery, both for the work of the blade and that of the handle. All the pieces are entirely handmade, with attention to detail and disproportionate perfection. Each region to its knife, in Carcassonne is therefore Occitan: an original model with its olive handle adorned with the Occitan cross, symbol of Occitania, which now comes in various forms in a complete range. This know-how also extends to a wide range of table knives, each more beautiful than the last. They have been able to impose themselves on prestigious tables and delight great starred chefs. These knives are guaranteed for life. You will find a beautiful sample in the shop in the heart of the city of Carcassonne (Place Auguste-Pierre-Pont, very close to the basilica), where the charming Valérie will answer your most specific questions and will advise you in your choices.
