The Sauveterre knife was designed by Henri Viallon from a model of a knife from the Aveyron region of the nineteenth century. The distinctive feature of this knife is a leaf-shaped blade reminiscent of a sage leaf and a sage leaf on the nib. The handle of this elegant knife is made of traditional ram horn. The taut back spring is forged. It ends in a guilloche sage leaf. The plates are also handcarved. The blade is made of DSC® carbon damascus steel (not stainless). For easier opening of the knife, the blade is equipped with a nail cut. The Sauveterre, bears the name of a village in Aveyron where the forge is located. Founded around 1241, Sauveterre de Rouergue, a medieval village considered one of the most beautiful villages in France, is a beautiful 13th century bastide built around the "Place des Arcades". Guy Vialis was the founder of the SAUVETERRE brand. After his death, Chrsitian Valat is now the current owner of the small "SAUVETERRE" forge.

Three knife makers – a brief introduction
Benjamin Laraud
In 2014, Benjamin Laraud came to Thiers to learn knife making from scratch. After working for GDD and Fontenille Pataud, he founded his brand Laraud Blades in 2023.
His first model, the L'Oegopsyde, is sleek, elegant and fluid like an octopus in motion. This was followed by the MagnaPinna, a slip joint knife with a smooth, rounded shape. Both knives are handmade and bear Benjamin's distinctive signature.
Benjamin Hée
Around five years ago, Benjamin Hée began forging at the foot of the Causse Noir. His first kitchen knives quickly sparked a passion that eventually became his craft. Today, he crafts handmade chef’s knives and folding knives, primarily with liner locks, and is currently expanding his collection to include slip-joint models. In doing so, he uses both his own hand-forged Damascus steel and high-quality Damascus steel from Achim Wirtz.
Every knife is unique and reflects the quality of the materials and craftsmanship.
Roland Lannier
In 2014, Roland Lannier left the Perceval forge and opened his own workshop in Thiers. His first model, ‘Why so serious’, immediately won a talent award.
This was followed by the Heeled Jack, an elegant slip joint knife. Roland Lannier also produces handmade table knives that are highly regarded in top-class gastronomy – each with distinctive handle materials and a personal touch.
Pierre Thomas - Atelier Ôdae
Pierre Thomas, born in Périgord in 1991, brought his knife-making craft to Thiers. There, he worked at renowned workshops such as Perceval before founding his own studio, “Ôdae,” in 2017.
His work is characterized by the utmost precision, exceptional craftsmanship, and an uncompromising commitment to quality.
His outstanding creation, “Le Passager,” is the result of more than six months of intensive development and is an elegant, beautifully designed knife that is hard to put down. He later expanded his collection to include additional pocket knives, such as the Philéas.
