More about
Originally from the Vienne region of France, the Saint-Martin is one of the few knives whose origins lie outside the farming world.
Some 19th-century writings claim that it was used more particularly by ecclesiastics.
The Saint Martin has always been a robust knife with massive bolsters. The oldest recorded model was made by Alphonse St-Joanis-Mondière (1883-1948), with a handle ending in a "Bec de corbin" and fitted with 6 stainless steel nails mounted with flush rosettes.
