Located in the heart of the French countryside, the city of Thiers has been known for being the capital of knife making in France since the 17th century. This regional tradition and specialty has withstood the test of time as 80% of French knives are still made in Thiers to this day. One family of locals - The Tarrerias - has upheld Thiers’ legacy throughout the generations. The city's archives show that the Tarrerias have been registered knife makers in Thiers since 1648. Cutlery has been in the family's DNA ever since and today, Tarrerias-Bonjean is France's leading manufacturer, providing a unique collection of outstanding designs and quality.
