Unfortunately, due to safety regulations, we are
not allowed to open our workshop to the public.
Instead, let’s enter the exquisite world of knife making through the very
heart – Thiers.
Thiers is remarkably well situated in
the regional nature reserve of Livradois-Forez .
The architectural beauty of the old town of Thiers, built into the side
of the rock,
makes it one of the main
medieval towns in Auvergne and an important center
of European cutlery making .
To know all about the marriage of iron, fire and water, take time to visit
:
The
cutlery museum in Thiers
In its workshops, before your very eyes, a sharpener, an assembler,
a polisher are at work producing up-market knives.
You will also discover a fabulous collection of knives, from today and
yesteryear, from princes and peasants.
Uncover the history of knifemaking in the Thiers region by taking a trip
to :
La
vallée des Rouets :
Driving down this valley, you can retrace the tracks of the knife-grinders,
well known for working in a horizontal position, lying on the board above
their grindstones
