Thiers Issard ‘Le Chatellerault 1800’ Straight Razor 6/8″ with Blond Horn Round Point Carbon Steel is ‘Singing’ Hollowed, or extra-hollowed. This nickname comes from the sound the blade makes when a softer material is dragged gently across the cutting edge – like making your water glass sing!
The ‘Le Chatellerault 1800’ is Thiers Issard’s special series manufactured in crucible cast steel Jacob HOLTZER dating from the early 1900s.
Thiers Issard was founded in 1884 by Pierre Thiers, a skillful blacksmith known for exceptional handheld blades. The family business continued through Pierre’s wife and sons well into the 20th century, and the handmade blades are still produced in central France today. Thiers Issard stands by their product, offering repair, resharpening, and renovation of their products. This, and all Thiers Issard blades, will certainly stand the test of time.
