INO, Bamboo

I met Sam a few years back, when he mistakenly stopped by my place with Henri Vialon, looking for the previous owner of the building.

After a few drinks, we rapidly became buddies and figured out we were sharing a lot of mutual perspective towards our line of work, about what knife making is, what it could be…

Sam feels more comfortable while making one-of-a-kind knives but he just had an encouter with Chef Christian Tetedoie in Lyon and was thinking about designing a steak knife for his restaurant. He asked me if I could take care of the production, the rest is history.

A while after that, we used the same design and some of the components I developped to make a folding knife and that’s what you’re looking at.
