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. The Chef Knife 15 is the all-rounder: compact, well balanced and sharp.
In use
Dice onions, chop herbs, slice vegetables or break down a roast. At 15cm it suits most home kitchens. Add the Paring Knife 10 for detail work, or choose the three-knife set with a carving knife.
