About
« A knife should be usable for every day. It is not a luxury jewel to leave at the bottom of the drawer. »
From his apprenticeship in locksmithing, Henri Steiner was curious about fire welding. In 2000, he was fascinated by the structure of damask that a blacksmith in his region showed him. In 2011, he made his first attempts with the mobile forge which he inherited from his farmer father. At the end of 2014, he set up his forge at Moulin Bornu in Pompaples.
« Irregularities, small flaws and varying degrees of finish are the hallmark of the craftsman. Each piece remains unique with its distinctive signs. »
Specialized in the manufacture of custom-made knives in damascus steel recognizable by its many nuanced layers of welded and forged steel, Henri Steiner perpetuates a very old know-how. His latest creations are oriented towards the world of cooking: steak knives, serving knives or peelers, fillet of sole or mushrooms. The assembly of the knife handles is done at La Sarraz.
