Wired workshop

At Nicolas Cablé, we have been blacksmiths from father to son for 34 generations! Unfortunately, the war effort forced his grandfather to move away from the forge. But in his spare time, he helped out with the surrounding farmers, repairing tractor parts, forging tool heads, knives, etc. Much later, Nicolas watched him work, and was fascinated by steel, anvils, hammers, etc. As a teenager, he forged his first knife with him. Passion was born! But at the end of the 90s, being a cutler was not a profession. So he turned to studying electrical engineering to pursue a brilliant career in industry. It was during the birthday of a cousin, who was envious of the famous knife, that Nicolas got back into the forge. From then on, the desire was too strong, he would become a blacksmith-cutler! Today, he revives old standards like "le mineur", or reinterprets traditional knives to which he adds a mirabelle plum handle... All his knives are composed of a damask steel blade whose pattern makes it unique, just like the small Lorraine cross engraved on the ricasso, the artist's signature. He also does not forget his environmental commitment by using only local or recycled woods.
