Olive wood is the Mediterranean tree excellence!

It flourishes on hillsides where cicadas sing, and on sun-drenched plains.

This wood with its golden hue is used in all the arts and crafts: turning, sculpture, cabinetmaking... and even high-end tableware. It's a wood that doesn't suffer the passage of time, and will stand by your side through the seasons without a wrinkle. Only its color, which darkens with age, bears witness to the passing of the seasons.

Its creamy tone contrasts with darker streaks of brown or black, giving it a timeless charm.

You'll appreciate olive wood for its warmth, natural tones and soft, warm feel.

Black Horn

When you choose a knife with a horn handle, you're choosing a unique knife: this natural material, with its irregular nuances, is the source of its beauty, making each handle a one-of-a-kind piece.

Our horn handles are carved from solid to give you knives of flawless quality and strength. In ancient times, horn was preferred to wood for its strength.

Black horn is renowned for its sturdiness, and owes its reputation to the fact that the first horns used were those of the buffalo, sturdy and indestructible animals.

Horn handles come in a wide range of shades, from very dark (even solid black) to dark beige.

Genuine wood

The scent of juniper wood is reminiscent of pepper. Its shiny appearance brings out the veining of its roots and the beauty of its rings.

Its hardness makes it the enemy of chainsaws, and the heartwood is virtually rot-proof.

It is also sought after for its pleasant scent and beautiful rings.

Juniper is a very fragrant wood, with warm reddish-brown to yellow tones.
