Au Nain is a 4th generation family cutlery business that was founded in 1885 by Gaston Saint-Joanis in Saint-Rémy-sur-Durolle, near Thiers. The name 'Au Nain' (meaning The Dwarf) was chosen as a playful response to their main competitor at that time - 'Géant du Couteau' (The Knife Giant). Much of Au Nain's manufacturing process is still in-house (from handling to polishing and sharpening, etc.) which is becoming less and less common. They continue to uphold traditional knife making processes characteristic to Thiers.

We have chosen ‘Sabatier Frères’ as the prime example of the many French-made kitchen knives labelled ‘Sabatier’. This superb professional range is manufactured by Coutellerie Au Nain, a small specialist firm in St. Rémy-sur-Durolle, the traditional cutlery region in central France. The secret of ‘Sabatier K’ lies in its structure. The massive forged tang goes right through the length of the handle, giving strength and an excellent balance. Knives are riveted with aluminium. Handles are made of a newly developed combination of ABS/fibreglass. A sophisticated moulding process has eliminated any gap between handle and metal part of the bolster. Also known as a ‘Bird’s Beak’ or Tourné Knife, this Paring Knife has a short, curved blade designed to be used in the hand, rather than on a chopping board. Ideal for peeling, hulling and coring fruits and vegetables.
