In Perigord, iron ore was mined by the Petrocorcians even before the Christian era, and Gauls built the first forges in the area of Nontron on the slopes of the Azat. The sword of Charles VII is said to have been forged in Nontron. Dogs running in round cages drove the polishing stones via a belt system. The files of the Paris police bear witness to the fact that disputes in the Parisian underworld were gladly settled with a Nontron knife. Henry VI was also killed with a Nontron knife that is still kept in the Louvre today. The origin and meaning of the inverted V with three dots remain unexplained to this day - the motif has been found since the beginning of the 16th century as the victory sign "Vitor" among the students of Salamanca Spain.
Today, as then, it is turned, cut, polished and sharpened by hand in the ateliers of Coutellerie Nontronnaise. It is a guarantor of tradition and continues the art of the fine blade. Its beautifully grained wooden handle of boxwood is dense, solid and decorated with a discreet branding.Thus, each "NONTRON", still handmade in its place of origin , becomes an absolutely unique item
