The piece
Atelier Perceval was founded in Thiers, France's knife-making capital, in 1996, and is best known for the 9.47 table knife designed by chef Yves Charles. The 9.47 kitchen knives carry the same lines into the kitchen, with Sandvik 12C27M stainless steel blades and a choice of pakkawood or olive wood handles. Each is made in Thiers. This set pairs the two knives used most.
In use
The paring knife peels, trims and segments; the chef knife chops, dices and slices. Together they cover most of what happens in a home kitchen, and make a lasting gift for a keen cook.
