Au Nain "Bistronome" - specially geared to your needs: French cooking knives à la bistronomy
Everything in the world undergoes changes from time to time, and the realm of gastronomy is no exception. A new trend in France is the so-called "bistronomy", uniting the words "bistro" and "gastronomy". In a few words, bistronomy is a gastronomical concept especially suited for the modern urban lifestyle: creative, light cuisine served fast without too much ceremony - and, of course, for an affordable price.
Whoever seeks to cook ambitious dishes without spending too much time, requires suitable tools, and the traditional cutlery maker Au Nain from Thiers certainly knows how to keep up with the times. They have developed their new product line "Bistronome" on the order of a leading bistronomique restaurant in Paris.

The ergonomically shaped wooden handles, secured on the tang with three brass rivets, excellently lie in the hand.
