    A superb experience! I'd been searching for months for a beautiful French knife. A charming saleswoman gave me excellent advice on its construction and use. I left with a Taldea Pistachio knife for cutting my meat. She was lovely and wonderful; you don't often see people so patient and passionate about their work. She gave all the advice and recommendations you could want about the products. I'm from the Hautes-Pyrénées (department 65) and I'm delighted to have found good knives made in France. Tired of cheap Chinese knives, I'm happy with this great find.

    Passing through for the festival and being a cutlery enthusiast, I had to stop and of course leave with a beautiful Basque knife. The saleswoman explains all the details you need to know very well and gives great advice. I highly recommend stopping by!
