    • Coutellerie Nontronnaise , heir to age-old know-how, is part of the French landscape of regional knives.

      A Nontron is more than a style: it is a genre that we defend and which wants to say a lot about our territory and our know-how.

      In this universe, the Nontron knife is an ancestor and inspires many legends. This imaginary dating back to the dawn of time is based as much on its imagined forms as on its distinctive pyrographed sign.

      Its history is so long that it is even difficult to date its birth. However, specialists agree that the Nontron knife is the oldest knife in France and that its origins date back to at least the 15th century.

      But tradition does not mean immobility. Quite the contrary, Coutellerie Nontronnaise, in its wooden and aluminum setting designed by Luc-Arsène Henry, has offered the services of renowned designers such as Olivier Gagnère, Eric Raffy, Christian Ghion.

      Heirs to a long local cutlery tradition, today's cutlers still work to handcraft the Nontron with the same gestures as their predecessors. The workshop, close to the heart of the city, allows visitors to see and appreciate the artisanal manufacturing.

      Hours of operation :

      • The shop – workshop, Place Paul Bert : Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. (5:30 p.m. for the workshop)

      Free and open visit to the workshop all year round from Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. (by appointment for groups).

      • The Rue Carnot store: Tuesday to Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m.

    A part of my shuttle knife broke, so I contacted customer service by email, with supporting photos. 1 month later I had no response from them, my emails went unheeded until I posted this review The Nontronnaise cutlery then contacted me, apologized and made the warranty work without any discussion! The repair is invisible, thank you!

    I broke the blade of my Nontron knife bought more than 20 years ago and which I use all the time. I sent it to the cutlery with the broken blade to put a blade back on. Once the blade was in their possession, they told me that they were taking the repair under warranty because of a flaw in the steel. It only cost me shipping. A warranty claim, more than 20 years after purchase, I find that quite classy. THANKS.

    Really disappointed buying a violin model but which is starting to rust, I contacted customer service with supporting photos and after a week the Nontron cutlery did not respond, it's a shame for a stainless steel knife ... Cutlery to avoid, they don't care about the customer!!!! Opinel at least they listen to us unlike Nontron!!!
