The word of the craftsman

The word of the craftsman

I am Ianis, a cutler-blacksmith, and my passion for cutlery began very early, at the age of 12, when I forged my first blade. For me, a knife is much more than just a functional tool; it is an object that must combine ergonomics and aesthetics. Each piece I create is designed to be as pleasing to the eye as it is to the hand. I like to think that a knife, once set, can become a work of art in its own right.

What motivates me most in creation is being able to explore different shapes and textures to give each piece a unique identity. Each blade is carefully considered to perfectly meet the expectations of its future user, whether in terms of comfort, performance, or visual beauty. Working in an artisanal manner allows the necessary time to be taken to offer a product that is both functional and refined.
The particularity of the craftsman

The particularity of the craftsman

Ianis stands out for his profoundly artistic and methodical approach to cutlery. Inspired by various thematic universes such as the Sea, the Fantastic, and the Organic, he constantly pushes the boundaries of traditional design. These themes serve as a framework for him to explore new lines, textures, and colors, allowing each of his creations to have a unique identity. This ongoing exploration is a true creative lever for him.

One of his most remarkable techniques is "Steel Lace", a fine openwork process done with a needle file. This meticulous work requires great patience but adds an artistic dimension to his most elaborate creations. This craftsman also distinguishes himself by his love for artistic collaborations, seeing exchange as a source of constant learning and renewal. These values drive him to create pieces that combine innovation, craftsmanship, and refinement.
