Blacksmith Cutler

From a piece of steel out of the industry, or torn off and diverted from its usual path, it models the material. In his Forge in Menton, the ore passes to fire, to hammer, finished on his anvils, and he models what fascinates him and fascinates him with knives. He leaves to these objects the imprint of the blows of hammers, the side "crude of forge" contrasting with the polish of the cutting edges. Last Forgeron Cutler of Menton, he creates models where the genres are mixed: the rustic folding knife of the shepherd, the knife of hunter, the knife to cut, the knife of the hiker. It covers the sleeves with horn, animal wood, bone, leather, wood of various species. He dresses the leather case blades that he makes and sews himself. Inspired by the past he gives us his version of the Celtic knife, a "jewel" knife to wear around the neck in his leather case . He also responds to special orders, such as that of this surgeon who asks him to forge the replica of surgical instruments of the 17th, or for passionate, sharpening stones of the Napoleonic era. His technique is pure, simple as are his creations.
