Creating a knife for French Masterchef Christian Etchebest

Born from the union of two passionate people - one for cuisine, the other for knives, this knife was designed, created and produced by the Jean Dubost team for French chef Christian Etchebest. Made in France, this knife has a robust yet original look. Its smooth, stainless steel blade provides an exceptional edge, while its handle, of real olive wood or micarta, ensures unparalleled ergonomics for all bistronomy lovers!

Testimony of Jérôme Pouey, designer, Easign

« In my opinion, design is above all a way of serving people. Of offering them a function but also, and perhaps even more especially, of telling them a story… It is the continuation of the work carried out by craftsmen who, at all times, have always produced objects that are primarily useful of course but that are often very beautiful …

This simple beauty comes from the intimate link that exists between their function and the sense of this function in culture. We find this link in cutlery and tableware. We find this link again in all the little rituals that are part of our lives, from toast at breakfast time to the preparation of a formal or relaxed meal …

Even up to the deeply rooted tradition of a coin given in exchange for a knife given, handed down by my grandfather and that I have passed on to my daughters. Because these every-day objects tell us stories relating to the kitchen, to the fun we had at table, to grandfather making a wooden bow …. They also invite us to remember that they come from a long tradition of know-how and innovation. Witnesses and actors of our lives and our own histories …

For if I have carefully collected the recipes of my grandmother and mother, I have my grandfather’s knives in my drawers … And it was my father who taught me how to sharpen them.

I believe that is why designers so much enjoy sketching knives and flatware… Especially if they like cooking …. So, yes, I must admit that I am very lucky to be able to design knives with Mr Dubost… »
