My Apéro Knife - DIY Knife Kit

Since 1648, TB has been preserving a unique craftsmanship in Thiers, the heart of French cutlery, passed down through generations. In collaboration with Manufacture en Famille, we invite you to explore this ancestral art with a DIY kit to create your own apéro knife. This project embodies a spirit of transmission, allowing both young and old to share in the joy of hands-on work and the creation of beautiful objects.

Manufacture en Famille is dedicated to making DIY accessible, particularly for children with the support of an adult. With this co-branded kit, making with your hands becomes an enriching experience for the whole family. Discover a project that combines learning, creativity, and pride in craftsmanship.
