Скачать или смотреть The Gouttière (Gutter) by GR; "Buttery Translucence" from France! 🇨🇵

Salutations, Ladies and Gentlemen! Today, I'll be discussing yet another traditional French knife–the Gouttière.

The name Gouttière comes from this knife’s distinctive bolster shape, which resembles a rain gutter, or ‘gouttière’ in French. The Gouttière; originating in Burgundy, is a design somewhat akin to that of the Langres; a small French knife I discussed a few months prior. Both knives feature a slim, teardrop handle and a long, carbon steel Sheepsfoot (or Ramsfoot) blade. The Gouttière, however, is significantly larger than the Langres, to the point of being employed as a table knife! The Gouttière is also characterised by its elegant, worked bolsters, which give it a very bespoke appearance when paired with the natural beauty of the Horn.

This model was made by GR; a brand of knives produced by Thiers Issard. Many of my long-term viewers may recall a variety of knives by Thiers Issard appearing on the channel, such as the Tonneau, Rouennais and Kenavo. Their quality was never perfect, but the craftsmanship was excellent considering the pricing. The Gouttière is somewhat rough around the edges, but remains a perfectly usable, traditional knife.



Gouttière (Gutter) by GR:

-XC75 Carbon steel Sheepsfoot blade.

-Worked carbon steel bolsters.

-Carbon steel liners and spring.

-Steel pins.

-Blonde Horn handles.

-7.5/10 pull.

-Handmade in France. 🇨🇵



Overall, the Gouttière is an excellent example of a knife that is rugged, yet beautiful. Its stiff pull paired with a larger blade makes for an outstanding work knife, whilst its sculpted bolsters and horn handles give it a delightfully dashing look. All in all, I’m very pleased with this piece!
