Whether you're finely chopping an onion, precisely slicing meat, or processing fresh herbs into a fragrant persillade: the Lion Sabatier Chef's Knife Idéal Provençao with an olive wood handle is the indispensable all-rounder you want to hold day in, day out. Forged in Thiers - the French knife-making capital - and finished with a warm olive wood handle. This is the knife your kitchen demands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy this knife makes a difference on your chopping board\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot every chef's knife is the same, even if they look similar from the outside. It’s all in the details: the balance in your hand, the way the blade glides through a tomato or carrot, the feeling of control while you work. This knife has it all. And it has an appearance that makes you happy every time you pick it up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForged from a single piece of steel\u003c\/strong\u003e - Blade, bolster, and tang are made from one piece. This means maximum strength, perfect balance, and no weak points where the knife can ever come apart.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4116 Nitro+ nitrogen-enriched steel\u003c\/strong\u003e - Harder, more corrosion-resistant, and sharper than regular Stainless Steel. With a hardness of 58-60 HRC, this knife comes sharp out of the box and stays sharper for longer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle made of olive wood\u003c\/strong\u003e - Warm, natural, and comfortable in hand. Each piece of olive wood is unique in grain, making your knife truly one of a kind.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSlightly curved edge for efficient chopping\u003c\/strong\u003e - The classic curve of a chef's knife allows you to quickly chop herbs and onions with a rocking motion - without straining your wrists.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e20 cm blade - the golden ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e - Long enough for large pieces, yet nimble enough for precise work. This size is no coincidence; it is the standard among professional chefs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEasy to sharpen\u003c\/strong\u003e - Thanks to the European sharpening method, you can maintain this knife yourself with a regular sharpening rod or whetstone. No hassle, just keep it sharp.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade in Thiers, France\u003c\/strong\u003e - Thiers has centuries of knife-making tradition. You can feel that in the precision, the finish, and the way this knife feels like true craftsmanship.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eForged craftsmanship: what \"from a single piece\" really means\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou’ve probably had a cheap knife where the handle started to wobble over time, or where it felt like the blade and handle were two separate components. That doesn’t happen with this knife. The Lion Sabatier Chef's Knife Idéal Provençao is \u003cstrong\u003efully integral forged\u003c\/strong\u003e: the blade, bolster (the piece of metal between the handle and edge that protects your hand), and tang (the part of the steel that runs through the handle) are formed from a single piece of 4116 Nitro+ Stainless Steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result? A knife that never loosens, is always balanced, and adapts over time to your way of working. The bolster also provides a natural finger stop, allowing you to safely and confidently use the tip of your fingers as a guide - just as a good chef's knife should support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 4116 Nitro+ steel is enriched with nitrogen, significantly improving rust resistance and hardness compared to regular Stainless Steel. With a hardness of 58-60 HRC, you’re in the sweet spot: hard enough to stay sharp for a long time, but not so brittle that it breaks under normal use. Exactly the balance you want for everyday use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOlive wood: a handle with character and comfort\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural materials in the kitchen have something special. They feel better, look more beautiful, and tell a story. The handle of this chef's knife is made from \u003cstrong\u003eolive wood\u003c\/strong\u003e - a type of wood known for its dense structure, beautiful grain, and pleasant weight. Three Stainless Steel rivets hold the handle securely in place and give the knife that unmistakably classic look that never gets old.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe olive wood feels warm and pleasant in hand - even if you’re chopping or slicing for a while. And because each piece of olive wood is unique in its grain and colour, no two knives are exactly the same. Your knife is literally your knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA small but important note: always wash this knife \u003cstrong\u003eby hand\u003c\/strong\u003e and dry it immediately after washing. The dishwasher is detrimental to both the blade and the handle - the steel can develop discolouration and the wood can crack or come loose. With a little care, this knife will last for years - or rather: decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e💡 \u003cstrong\u003eCookinglife Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Want to get the most out of this knife? Use it on a wooden or plastic chopping board (never glass or stone) and sharpen it regularly with a ceramic sharpening rod. Start with the coarse side for restoration, finish with the fine side for sharpness. Then this knife will come out of the kitchen drawer as good as new every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe knife for every preparation - your all-rounder in the kitchen\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 20 cm chef's knife is no random choice. It is \u003cem\u003ethe\u003c\/em\u003e size that professional chefs and home cooks have been using for generations, and for good reason. Long enough to cut through half a cabbage in one go, nimble enough to brunoise a shallot precisely. With the slightly curved edge, you can effortlessly chop fresh basil, parsley, or chives - finer than you ever thought possible without much effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePortioning meat, filleting fish, cutting vegetables into julienne, or slicing bread in emergencies (preferably don’t, but it can): this knife is your reliable assistant from breakfast to dinner. The weight of 170 grams feels just right - not too heavy to tire you out, not so light that you lose the feeling of control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThiers, the French town where this knife is made, has a history of knife-making that dates back to the Middle Ages. Lion Sabatier carries on that tradition with knives that are not only beautiful but prove their worth in daily practice. This is not a showpiece for the display case - this is a working tool that still looks great after ten years of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Idéal Provençao\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chef's Knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 170 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade material:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4116 Nitro+ steel (nitrogen-enriched Stainless Steel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Olive wood with 3 Stainless Steel rivets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 58-60 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSharpening method:\u003c\/strong\u003e European\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver \/ Brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e No - hand wash recommended\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e France (Thiers)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIn the package\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLion Sabatier Chef's Knife Idéal Provençao Olive Wood 20 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the chef's knife you will purchase and never want to be without again.
