Comment choisir son couteau d’office ?

Privilégiez un couteau léger, maniable et bien équilibré, idéal pour les découpes fines. Une lame de qualité et une bonne ergonomie garantissent un usage confortable.

Le couteau passe-t-il au lave-vaisselle ?

Non. Le lavage à la main est recommandé pour préserver la lame et éviter d’abîmer le manche en bois.

Quelle est la taille idéale pour un couteau d’office ?

La taille idéale pour un couteau d'office se situe entre 8 et 10 cm, une longueur polyvalente adaptée aux gestes courts et précis.

Le manche en bois nécessite-t-il un entretien ?

Oui, un léger huilage ponctuel permet de nourrir le bois et de maintenir son éclat naturel.

Quels outils utiliser pour affûter un couteau d’office ?

Une pierre à aiguiser ou un fusil céramique conviennent pour l’entretien courant. Pour un affûtage complet, notre service d'entretien disponible dans notre atelier, utilise une bande abrasive adaptée qui permet un affûtage optimal.

Quels sont les délais pour une gravure personnalisée ?

La commande est expédiée sous 5 jours ouvrés, auquel s'ajoute le délai standard colissimo. Le colis est donc livré sous 10 jours (avec ou sans gravure personnnalisée)

What is a paring knife?

A paring knife is a small, versatile kitchen knife known for its short, manoeuvrable blade, usually between 8 and 10 cm.
It is designed for precise, delicate cutting tasks where larger chef’s knives can feel cumbersome.

Compact and lightweight, it offers excellent control and safety: its reduced size improves handling, helping to prevent slipping.
It is an essential tool that supports every stage of food preparation from peeling fruit and vegetables to finely slicing herbs.

Because of its versatility, the paring knife is considered a must-have in any kitchen, appreciated by both home cooks and professionals.
It combines speed, precision and reliability, making it an indispensable companion alongside chef’s knives and other cutting tools.

How to sharpen and care for your kitchen knife ?

An artisanal kitchen knife requires proper care to maintain its performance and durability over time.
Here are a few simple and effective tips.

Clean by hand with a soft sponge and dry immediately after use. Avoid dishwasher cleaning, which damages both the steel and the wooden handle.

Maintain the blade regularly with a whetstone or suitable honing steel, keeping to the recommended angle.

Use a knife block, magnetic rack or protective sheath to preserve the cutting edge.
