The number 7 is magical. And a symbol of luck for many. In “The Brave Little Tailor” there are 7s in one stroke, Snow White gathers 7 dwarfs around her, the darned year of relationships is always the 7e, which we prefer to escape by walking 7 miles over 7 bridges, there are 7 deadly sins and we receive information about the future with the 7th sense. MICHEL BRAS considers 7 knife shapes to be the basis of kitchen work. At least that's what he thought at the beginning. In the meantime, this series has already recruited 10 models, which is probably due less to their indispensability in the kitchen than to the great interest in the series.
The elongated handle is easy on the hand when cutting. A handle made of black laminated wood that is water-repellent and moisture-resistant. In a design that is also ideal for men with very large hands.
The contour of the surface is reminiscent of chestnuts. A knob that provides space for the fingers and does not tire the hand when cutting.
The beautiful grain of the wood with its silky feel makes a great impression. The respective number is stamped into the metal by hand so that you can recognize which model you are looking at from the end cap when storing the knife in the knife block.
The shape and size of the number 7 is reminiscent of the classic Laguiole blades. The table knife is ideal for steak, roasts and fillets at the table. Precious meat is cut elegantly without tearing the cells.
A simple wooden case that embodies the impression of nature in Laguiole, the home of Michel BRAS. Made from high-quality hard maple wood which has been cut into a rectangular shape. A magnet inside holds the knife in place.
MICHEL BRAS chef's knives are beautiful. Sharp ground and very well balanced. The core of each blade is made of VG-10, the so-called “gold steel” that KAI prefers to use in its knife series. It is sheathed in softer steel, which is then coated in black titanium. That says it all and I will now wrap myself in silence.
PS: Le bras = the arm. S is not spoken.
Master chef of the colorful blobs on the plate= Monsieur Bras. S is spoken.
Otherwise it might be BRAStig.
