Sabatier - Confusion Continues

Confusion Continues

While there are many knife manufacturers using Sabatier as their brand, some Sabatier manufacturers are considered authentic, and some are not. Generally speaking among connoisseurs of fine cutlery, only knives manufactured in Thiers, France from well established manufacturers from the 19th century are considered "genuine" Sabatier knives.

Many other manufacturers, both in France and elsewhere, use the Sabatier name on their products. However, these products are generally mass-produced and of poor quality. Neither words such as vrai or garanti, nor "Made in France", ensure a good knife.
