quality :Made the old, all our blades are fine millstone sharpened by a qualified cutler. The quality of the steel, the triangular grinding and the polishing will make it easier so that you can keep your knives sharp and make sure that they continue to cut true.

The springs and blades are put in a kiln heated to over 1,000°, before being hastily cooled. Depending at the part (spring, blade, and so on.) and its makeup (carbon steel, stainless steel), the tempering varies (temperature, oil / water / air, and so on.).
The tempered parts (here the springs) are plunged into an oil bath as a way to give them strength and flexibility. The blades are then “marbled/billées”, controlling the hardness expressed at the Rockwell scale (HRC).
Our Swedish 12C27 Sandvik stainless steel blades have a hardness of 56 HRC.
All our springs are forged and chased (“guilloched”) with a file in a vice. They all have a blade-stop.
All the bees are filed twice: before assembly and before the quality keep an eye on stage.
All our blades are very carefully ground and polished twice
