The roots of cutlery in Thiers

Nestled in the heart of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, the town of Thiers is a global benchmark for handmade knives. Since the Middle Ages, it has proudly held the title of “French Cutlery Capital”, thanks to its unique heritage combining ancestral know-how and constant innovation.
