Le P'tit Tradi Paring Knife

Le P'tit Tradi, inspired by an original Goyon-Chazeau design, was created when Madam Goyon asked her husband Gabriel to craft a small, efficient knife for communal meal prep. It became a trusted tool for slicing, cutting, and peeling. In 2022, Magali Soucille, needing a larger knife for bigger tasks, asked her husband Vincent to design Le Grand Tradi. Sharing the same philosophy as its smaller counterpart, Le Grand Tradi is built to handle larger cuts with ease and precision

Handmade in the Goyon-Chazeau workshop in Thiers, France, this superior quality knife is made from one of the best cutlery steels available: Sandvik 14C28N steel enriched with carbon. The ebony and sapwood handle is smooth and comfortable in the hand, as any frequently reached-for tool should be. The two-toned wood has marked shades ranging from honey to brown. Also called Mozambic ebony, it is the hardest, densest, and most waterproof of all raw woods.
