Manoir Cutlery: The Essence of French Craftsmanship

Imagine a beautiful French country house, a manor house somewhere between a castle and a farm. Surrounded by rolling fields, filled with the scent of lavender and the soft colours of a sunset, this is a place where timeless traditions are kept alive. Here, in the heart of the countryside, lies an intimate restaurant where the first culinary masterpieces came to life. The stone walls breathe history, while the table is set with simplicity and elegance.

This is the feeling we have captured with Manoir Cutlery. Each piece evokes the refined charm of a French country house, where meals are prepared with love and attention to detail. The handles are made with a timeless design, executed in sleek white simplicity, while the knives and forks shine like the morning light on a dewy vineyard. Perfect for enjoying freshly baked bread, dishes with subtle herbs and glasses of local wine that have been carefully selected.

With Manoir Cutlery, every meal becomes a culinary journey to the rustic splendor of the French countryside, where the art of eating and the pleasure of being together go hand in hand.

The 24-piece set is for 6 people and consists of 6 dinner knives, 6 dinner forks, 6 dinner spoons and 6 dessert spoons. Each cutlery item consists of a stainless steel blade, a plastic handle and an aluminium ornament in the middle. The materials are of very solid quality. The blade is 2.0 mm thick, does not bend and is made of 18/10 stainless steel. The handle is made of acrylic, a strong plastic with a smooth, slightly glossy effect. The colour will not wear off because it is applied throughout the entire handle (and not as a thin coating on the surface).

The knives have a fine serration. This keeps them sharp and cuts well. The set comes in a cutlery cassette made of European softwood: nice to give as a gift and handy for in the cutlery drawer.

The cutlery is dishwasher safe. We recommend washing it at a maximum temperature of 55˚ C.

Technical information handle:

PPL (Polypropylene) is a versatile, lightweight thermoplastic known for its high chemical resistance and flexibility. Polypropylene is a durable plastic that is easy to process and is often used in functional design applications.

Technical information blade:

AISI 430 is a stainless steel type to which chromium has been added. This type of steel is often used for cutlery because it can be shaped well (spoons and forks), has a strong gloss layer and does not rust quickly.

AISI 420 is a stronger stainless steel type to which carbon has been added in addition to chromium. This steel is less easy to bend and is very suitable for making knives. With a heat treatment, this steel is extra hardened (HRC52/56) so that the cutting edge is less likely to be damaged and stays sharp for longer. It is also highly resistant to rust formation.

HRC52/56 is the standard used to indicate the hardness of steel. This type of steel will not break easily and is less susceptible to rust formation.

18/10 stainless steel is a type of steel to which 18% chromium and 10% nickel have been added. Chromium gives the steel a durable shiny finish and nickel protects against rust. There are also types of cutlery steel (18/8 and 18/0) to which less or almost no nickel has been added. These are slightly less resistant to rust.
