Assembling with rivets : this type of assembling is very similar to the one mentioned just above in the fact that both are fixed with 3 crossing rivets. However, in this method the blade is inserted in a previously moulded synthetic handle. Hollowed bolster: it is formed with two hollowed parts (thus is less heavy than the massive bolster) that can be welded or fixed together with a rivet.

The handle of a kitchen knife serves for much more than just holding the knife. The handle also plays an important role in providing the knife the optimal balance and equilibrium. In addition, we cannot ignore the aesthetic factor : great part of the beauty of a knife depends on the design and look of its handle.Half-tang : it is extended only through halfway of the handle, but it has two holes where rivets can be assembled.

Full tang : it goes all the way until the end of the handle. In fact, the full tang is even visible at the top of the handle where the line of steel goes in between both sides of the handle. Knives with full tang are more solid and robust. - The handle : Provençao series : as its name suggests, this knife range honors the Frence region of Provence. In fact, the handles of all Sabatier Provençao knives are made of wood from olive trees, which are very popular in Provence. The knives of the Provençao series are also 100% forged, which is why they are so solid and durable. In addition to being tools of high cutting performance, these knives are also known for their rustic and authentic look.
