Lion Sabatier Ideal Carbone – The Blade for the True Purist

Embrace the tradition of authentic carbon steel with the Lion Sabatier Ideal Carbone range — crafted for chefs and enthusiasts who appreciate the unmatched sharpness and living character of classic forged carbon blades.

Razor-Sharp Precision
Each knife is fully forged in Thiers, France, from high-carbon XC70 steel, renowned for its exceptional edge retention and ease of sharpening. Unlike modern stainless blades, carbon steel hones to a keener edge, delivering the precise cuts professional chefs demand.

Heritage Craftsmanship
The Ideal Carbone knives feature the timeless Lion Sabatier silhouette — slim, elegant blades with a robust spine and full tang for perfect balance. The handles are made from durable POM with solid brass through-rivets, providing a secure, comfortable grip and classic aesthetic.

A Knife That Ages With You
Over time, the carbon steel develops a unique patina — a living finish that protects the blade and tells the story of every meal prepared. Each knife becomes as individual as its owner, a true heirloom of the kitchen.

Essential Tools for Serious Cooking
Available in 15 cm, 20 cm, 25 cm, and 30 cm blade lengths, the Ideal Carbone range covers everything from intricate prep work to robust carving tasks.

Care Instructions
To preserve your knife’s performance and character:
• Always hand wash and dry immediately after use.
• Lightly oil the blade to protect against corrosion.
• Hone the blade as often as possible to maintain sharpness.
• Do not put in the dishwasher.
