According to myself, this collection represents a knowledge of the past in cutlery, since the blade has a counter-cutting edge called ‘Nogentais’ and a polished finish. As for the sleek spacer, one can admire a white mother-of-pearl dovetail insert, like a gem set in the spirit of a cufflink. The handle also has a mother-of-pearl inlay with studs like luxury cutlery at the turn of the century. It has a literary and poetic side because the inside of the knife receives an engraving concerning a quote from Victor Hugo. Adjust your glasses!
