lamendin andre coutelier

High quality craftsman cutler. I was fortunate enough to be able to do a two-day introductory cutlery course with him. Very nice experience! I already really liked his work, of which I have some beautiful pieces, and I had great pleasure in being able to benefit from his pedagogy, his know-how and his generosity during these two initiation days! Three knives forged and assembled in two days! A Piedmontese type foldable, one for the kitchen between the pantry and the chef, and one with rough forge twisted silk! A unique and magical experience that I recommend to all lovers of beautiful blades!

Arrived at work at André's workshop at the end of the day, he kindly took the time to tell me about his way of working, his forge and his work in progress. I retain a very good welcome, an artisanal work of metal and wood (an immense majority of local essences make up the handles) and a large place left to creativity (André works without templates). Ah yes, I also retain 2 superb knives, a folding and a fixed which I use very regularly ...

Very good cutler blacksmith, more than reasonable prices for forged knives, entirely handmade. To recommend warmly to have fun or to give gifts !!!

With the course of a day, I discovered the stages of knives manufacturing. Accompanied by André in all stages, I was able to touch this job. The magic of seeing a metal rectangle turn into a blade that will become soft and shiny is fascinating. I really had a nice day. If you are a girl, dare!

100% artisanal, even the handle dedicated to its customers, an exceptional artist
