The Lion Sabatier Idéal Périgord series is where French craftsmanship meets natural beauty. In this collection, you will find forged knives with a Walnut Wood handle — knives that you not only enjoy using but also love to display. Whether you cook daily or create a special moment at the table: here you choose tools that last.
Fully forged, from tip to tang
Each knife in the Idéal Périgord series is 100% forged from a single piece of 4116 Nitro+ stainless steel. Blade, bolster, and tang form a single unit — providing balance, strength, and control that you feel immediately when you pick up the knife. The Walnut Wood handle adds warmth without compromising grip. This is no coincidence; it is the result of generations of knife-making in the French tradition.
The series offers a complete arsenal for the serious home cook. The Chef's Knife of 20 cm is your everyday all-rounder for vegetables, meat, and fish. The santoku with Hollow Edge — a Japanese concept, French craftsmanship — ensures that slices release effortlessly. The Carving Knife cuts roasted meat and poultry into even slices with one smooth motion. And the Bread Knife saws effortlessly through a crispy crust without damaging the soft crumb.
Who are the Lion Sabatier Idéal Périgord knives for?
These knives are made for anyone who consciously chooses quality that proves itself. For the home cook who enjoys being at the stove every evening. For those who see cooking as a ritual and want the tools to match. The Idéal Périgord series is equally at home in a modern designer kitchen as in a warm, rustic setting — the Walnut Wood makes the difference.
The 12 cm serrated utility knife also deserves a place in this story. Small, agile, and surprisingly versatile: tomatoes, citrus fruits, peppers, sausage — it cuts through them all effortlessly. A knife you reach for more often than you expect.
