I would like to start this new post because since the old Le Their's post i have much more in the way of the knives we know as SABATIER'S and some more history.

Dave sold me this Sabatier and told me it was so old that metal wasn't invented yet.

Is that a picture of Jean Sabatier, the supposed founder of the cutlery company, or Auguste Sabatier, the theological scholar?

Also, what did Jean Auguste Sabatier supposedly do? Did he create the profiles, or was he a prolific knifemaker, or what?

At the top of the page is the word 'Messemaker', which can be broadly translated as 'Cutler'.

The original engraving of this image was created by the Dutch artist, Jan Luyken (1649-1712). It was published in Luyken's 1694 publication 'Het Menselyk Bedryf' ('The Book of Trades'). Jan Luyken compiled this book with his son, Caspar (1672-1708). It included engravings of a range of trades including cutlers, spectacle makers, confectioners and silversmiths

You should get all those old knife images, sketches, and such amassed into a single thread, and get the admins to "sticky" it. All in one place, would make a cool resource!

Either that or write a book!!
 
That's kind of what I am trying to do with files on my computer and then share what i find with you guys and what Dave has provided a place for all the findings
good for forum members to find a markers mark or history or just a cool image .

sorry about translation.
 
LAGUIOLE

Some would say this is the most well known maker from France but i think OPINEL would give them a run for there money.
