French Home Au Nain Prince Gastronome Steak Knives - Set of 4

Details & care Dating back for over six hundred years, the Thiers region of France is renowned for its excellence in knife making. Au Nains Prince Gastronome steak knives are meticulously handcrafted in the bucolic hills of southern France, where each knife is individually handmade by local artisans using time-honored craftsmanship, preserving the tradition of high-quality knife making. Featuring rose wood handles with three gold brass rivets and a gold brass bolster, these knives are gorgeous. The razor-sharp stainless-steel blades cut steak with an easy efficiency while the curvature of the knife feels well balanced and is comfortable to hold. Made with impeccable craftsmanship, the quality of these knives is undeniable and come housed in a beautiful box ideal for storage and gift giving. The legend of Au Nain began in 1885 in St. Remy, France, by the current owners great-grandfather, Gaston Saint-Joanis. When his main competitor boasted of being the Giant of the knife, the imposing 65 Saint-Joanis replied with characteristic humor and panache by creating the brand Au Nain ... the dwarf! And that is how this giant of the French cutlery business was born! Four generations later, Au Nain has established its reputation with consumers around the world who demand high standards from their hand-made stainless-steel knives and utensils. 7.5" L x 0.5" W x 0.5" H Set of 4 Blade Length: 4.3'' each African rosewood, gold brass, and stainless steel Hand wash warm Made in France Item #6911489 Show more
