CHIEN® Knife Picana Handle

CHIEN® knife with Picana handle

A typical French Overseas Departments and Territories knife for more than 100 years, the Chien® knife comes from a long tradition in the world of cutlery.

And it can now be found on your tables, to offer you a fine and precise cut, coupled with a pleasant grip.

A knife with a wooden handle from South America

The Chien® knife with its Picana handle is first and foremost a Z40 C13 stainless steel blade that can withstand daily use at any table. But it is also a Picana handle made of wood from South America.

Comfortable in the hand, it adapts to all your meals and can even accompany you, thanks to the travel pouch in which it is delivered.

Originally, created by SABATIER PERE ET FILS, it was then taken over by France EXPORTATION, a former cutlery factory dating from 1793.

Since 1980, this brand has been owned by THIERS-ISSARD and is still manufactured entirely in Thiers by the company THIERS-ISSARD SNETI SAS.

This legendary  West Indian table knife is highly prized and present in every family.

One sauce even gets the name of this knife "the CHIEN sauce". The herbs that make up this recipe, onions, garlic and parsley are prepared with this knife.

It was mostly made with a metal handle, but its handle has changed for convenience to an easier-going material.

Our signature is made with a metal punch (silhouette of the dog knife affixed before tempering) as it has been for more than 100 years.

THIERS-ISSARD respects the tradition that is in steel, in the grinding, polishing, overmolding of the handle and above all, the sharpening which is done entirely by hand.

Modernity wants the presentation to be in a blister pack, but we also present it the old-fashioned way, in a box of 6, or in a printed cotton pouch.

When you buy a CHIEN® knife, you are buying more than 100 years of Thiers cutlery tradition.
