Do you know, Julien, the blacksmith cutler from Saint-Sigismond, finalist of the famous show Forged in Fire? The guy has rolled his bump during his 1000 lives: soldier, ski instructor, cowboy in Texas, snowmobile guide... But that was before, before his revelation...
Totally self-taught
“One beautiful morning in 2014, I wake up and say I am drawn to this vocation. I have never touched a forge in my life or made a knife… But nothing scares me! I'm going to spend sleepless nights watching videos on the internet, going through them, frame by frame, to better understand the art of hammering. "
"Then one day, I took the plunge and opened my own workshop, 'Les Couteaux de la Berchère' . Since then, I've never left it. Designing knives became my art, my pleasure, my life!"
An unusual profession
“What I love about making a knife is not the finished work, but the process of creation. My studio is the place where I transcend myself, I ignore everything. I go above and beyond, because creating a knife takes patience, creativity and tenacity. I try, I encounter problems, I find solutions but I am always learning. For me, my passion is a bath of happiness and freedom. "
Unique creations
“I offer numerous workshops to people who wish to create a knife that reflects their own style. I created the association “Les Lames du Chevran” with the aim of developing amateur knifemaking. This association brings together enthusiasts with whom I share my expertise.”
