Knife by Artisan Forge Celtique

Each craftsman of the cutlery carries within it the power to create, artistic potential to be explored.
For this, it is not enough merely to have expertise, but above all a deep passion for the material.

The latter, although alive and unstable, is not characterised by chaos, but by clearly defined rules.

It is about learning the language of iron and fire, understanding their interactions, and consciously recreating what can sometimes seem to arise by chance.

The key lies in the patience to wait for the optimal conditions to bring a project to life. All this is about feelings, looks and sensations.

Some reflexes improve with experience, but the initial process remains unchanged at the start of every work.

Finding harmony and delicacy in sight and touch is essential. This makes it possible to continue the life and history of the created object, so that whoever acquires it can in turn pass it on.

The forge offers me this space where I draw on familiar scents, sounds and intimate sensations to breathe this life into it.

Between metal and me, it is a battle, a friendship that began long ago, in which I share an important part of myself, my sorrows, my joys and my past history.

My hope is to offer this dream, to perpetuate Celtic memory and the ancestral art of creation through my hands.
