A handsomely styled hand-made stainless steel oyster knife, complete with a hand-turned boxwood handle and Nontron's classic burned-wood details. The rounded handle is ideal for safely opening oysters, ensuring a secure grip for even the most stubborn shell hinge. The blade measures 7cm in length for a total length of 15.5cm. Hand wash only. Coutellerie Nontronnaise, or Nontron, bears the name of the village it was founded in the 13th century. Since before the Middle Ages, Gallic people who settled near the waters of the Bandiat River began making the first true French knives. In 1653, Guillaume Legrand, a master cutler, invented the turning ferrule, an innovation that Nontron have continued to use over the centuries. Each piece of cutlery is made by craftsmen trained on the techniques of sawing, shaping, and assembling used by their ancestral forebears making true, heritage pieces that have been cherished for centuries.
