Our History

L'Esperluète is the story of Etienne, a globetrotting chef and lover of good products who goes to meet Patrice, an ingenious craftsman cutler. Together they created the first real folding kitchen knife.

Named the Esperluète, it is now manufactured in Thiers, in Puy-De-Dôme, the birthplace of the art of French cutlery. This knife is the perfect combination of cooking and travel.

Our mission: to push the limits of your creativity

Every day, we create knives designed as mediating objects to explore the world, discover its greatest riches, push back our own boundaries, meet others and cook freely .

A participatory launch

We organized a pre-order campaign for our products at a preferential rate in order to finance the production of the first series of Esperluètes.

This campaign will end on March 24, 2024 and you will receive your order in your mailbox at the end of March 2024.

Thanks to all contributors.
