    We couldn't resist... firstly because the selection is vast, from the most classic knives to the most original, and in all price ranges. The shopkeeper shares his advice and anecdotes with a warm smile. Knife sharpening is available for free, plus the expertise is there too! This little shop is a real gem!

    I bought a knife from the Basque cutlers a few years ago and I am very happy with it, the seller gave very good advice, whether for a gift for a loved one, or for oneself, I highly recommend it.

    What a wonderful moment of discovery and sharing! A refined shop, artisanal expertise honed over nearly 40 years, a salesperson passionate about their craft—my wife and I have now returned to Brittany with two magnificent knives that are now part of our daily meals. A must-see!
