Himonnet cutlery
Our history
Foundation
I moved to Auvergne in 2011 to study for the "Cutting and surgical instruments" CAP in Thiers, and spent 10 years learning and perfecting my craft at Le Fidèle cutlery. Building on this experience, in January 2021 I set up my own workshop in Puy-Guillaume, where I offer high-quality creations combining passion and expertise.
Influences and origins
Originally from the Charentes region of France, I pay homage to my native region in each of my creations. Inspired by the tinkling of halyards on masts, I chose the sailboat as my emblem. The shape of my blades evokes the hulls of ships entering the port of Royan, and the name of each model refers to places that have marked my life.
Manufacturing techniques
As a French cutler, I am proud to handcraft high-quality fixed and folding knives, using ancestral manufacturing techniques. In this way, I play an active role in the preservation and transmission of the Thiers cutlery tradition.
Geographical location
Close to Thiers: The workshop is located near Thiers, a town with a long tradition of cutlery-making, in the Puy-de-Dôme region.
Aesthetic design
A balance between art and functionality: the aim is to focus on clean design and innovative textures, inspired by a variety of influences.
Rare materials
Use of precious materials: Unique elements such as mammoth ivory and Arizona ironwood.
