An authentic family-run artisanal cutlery workshop

Christophe & Séverine, a passionate knife-making duo

In their Jorlis workshop, on the banks of the Adour River, Christophe and Séverine work side by side, combining their gestures and know-how. He forges each blade using ancestral techniques; she shapes the handles, assembles and fine-tunes each piece, and welcomes customers. Their partnership, forged over the years, is the true signature of Couteau Basque.

The artisanal soul of the true Basque knife
