"Thau" Knife No. 4 Slicer by Guy Savoy and Bruno Moretti for Tarrerias Bonjean

Kitchen Knives with an "Aero-Aqua Dynamic" Shape!

The blade is deeply engraved rather than merely marked on the surface, unlike most knives; the fine and extremely detailed engraving is then carefully lacquered by hand. This blade, made of tempered steel, is composed of mox steel coupled with a nearly unalterable PVD treatment that provides exceptional corrosion resistance. This treatment renders it black like the handle, creating a continuity between the two and giving the knife a sleek, aggressive, yet soft profile… much like a shining cetacean leaping out of the water: an "aero-aqua dynamic" shape!

Comfortable Kitchen Knives

Designer Bruno Moretti observed the work in the kitchen and discovered that chefs might be required to hold the same knife for hours, often pressing their index finger on the back of the blade for greater force and precision, and that hands or fingers could sometimes slip on the blade. Some handles were also found to be better suited to certain hands than others. He thus aimed to create knives that provide great comfort for chefs. The size of the handle is significantly larger than standard dimensions, offering the same comfort to all hands, as they can position themselves at different levels on the handle according to their shape and size. The angle of the bolster (the connection at 45° between the blade and the handle) has been reversed to ensure better protection for the hand. The back of the blade has been smoothed to avoid discomfort during prolonged contact with the finger.
