There are days when the sense of the art of living guides our steps… This is what seems to happen to us often in the editorial office, when a small voice or a desire coming from who knows where invites us at the bend of a walk to turn or to continue a little further, in a small and apparently empty street, where we would probably never have gone.<\/h3>\n\n

By Xavier Aubercy<\/h4>\n\n

This is how the meeting with the cutler Ceccaldi<\/a> begins, in the shadow of the Sorbonne, with his history, his family and his magnificent creations such as his shepherd’s knives, hunting knives, kitchen knives and his unique pieces. Whether your father one day perpetuated this tradition of offering you “your knife” as a moment of transmission, as a token of confidence or of passage to the age of responsibility, or, on the contrary, whether you have never held in your hands more than an industrial object just useful for cutting up food, I can almost tell you that if you pass one day in this delightful store on rue Racine, you are likely to have many cravings for something else, both masculine and feminine, and this for many reasons.<\/p>\n\n

First\nof all because the source that springs up here is a family one, through the history\nof a father and his two sons, and comes from one of the most beautiful regions of\nFrance and the world: Corsica. That’s why you will find on\nolive, juniper, ebony, boxwood, walnut or walnut wood for the handles.\nof the island but also the horn of the local rams which will compete\nyour favor, compared to the more contemporary precious metals, carbon and resins,\nwhich will be associated with the steels of Thiers.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n

The knife chosen here will have been\nmade for you, to be an efficient and everyday companion. It\nwill be guaranteed for life and when you wish, you will come to see Simon\nin Paris, or Sylvestre or Jean-Pierre in the workshop of Porticcio, on the\nsouth shore of the Gulf of Ajaccio, for the pleasure of seeing your blade sharpened as\non the first day.<\/p>\n\n

“What we like\n is the variety<\/em>” says Ceccaldi. This also explains why year after year\nyear, for more than 40 years, the range of temptations has widened and that it\ncurrently has 6 to 7 proposals in each category to which\nadd the unique pieces allowing to dare a little more. These dress up\nor the most precious materials like this steel\nDamascus leaflet that was on display the day I visited.<\/p>\n\n

The forge that will make the blade is without doubt the most important\nemblematic of the knife maker. During the operation, the steel is brought to a high\ntemperature in order to make it malleable and thus to be able to give it, under\nthe impulse of the blacksmith’s hammer, its shape and its final fineness. The most\noften, the blades are cut according to an original design or pattern on\nsteel plates or bars, and then ground to hollow out the steel,\noperation that is called emouture. Then comes an essential step:\nthe tempering process. This process consists of baking the blade blanks at a temperature of\ntemperature of 840 degrees for carbon steels or 1040 degrees for stainless steels\nand then to cool them immediately either in oil or in contact with\nair depending on the material. Then, a new passage in the oven at a temperature\nmuch lower for an hour will allow to relax this steel and thus to\nmake it less brittle. It is the perfect mastery of these operations that\nwill define the best compromise of hardness, and thus the quality of the cutting edge of\neach knife made.<\/p>\n\n

How not to be touched of course\nby the personality of Simon and the young woman who helps him in his ravishing\nParisian store, or by his knife “Vendetta”? But\nmy emotion of the moment was focused on\nthe table knives of everyday life, arousing the desire and pleasure to invite\nlots of friends for dinner. Here, little advertising but a permanent desire\nand a word of mouth of customers who for nothing in the world would\nwould leave their knife if the master is not there. <\/p>\n\n

“A’ chi a un pane \u00e9 un cultellu face a fata cum ellu volle<\/em>“, says the Corsican proverb: “the one who has a bread and a knife cuts the branch as he wants.” We proposed you the knife, you have to find the bread…<\/p>\n\n
