The handle combines black and white in a regular chequered pattern, cut from cristallium, a material more translucent and more luminous than glass. Each square catches the light and gives the knife a graphic depth. Cristallium does not yellow under UV light and resists impacts, solvents and intensive use.
Did you know?
Le Thiers bears the name of the town where it was born, the French capital of cutlery. Its fine, gently curved silhouette has made it a classic. On this model, it is adorned with a chequered pattern, a timeless motif that evokes the chessboard. The forged and chiselled spring becomes a space for expression: the letters are hand-engraved into the steel, then the spring is tempered to harden it. The personalisation becomes one with the knife.
Picture it under the Christmas tree, with “DADDY” or a first name engraved into the steel of the spring. These letters do not hide: they can be read along the back of the handle, every time the knife comes out of the pocket. For the chess lover, the aesthete fond of clean lines or anyone who loves objects with character, this chequered pattern never goes unnoticed at the table. Kept in its black leather sheath, delivered with its certificate of origin and guaranteed for life, it is a gift that bears a name and is passed down.
