Rousselon, un coutelier de Thiers, dans le Puy de Dôme, les couteaux 32 Dumas et Lion Sabatier. 32 DUMAS. Sabatier. Sabatier is the maker's mark used by several kitchen knife manufacturers—by itself it is not a registered brand name.
The name Sabatier is considered to imply a high-quality knife produced by one of a number of manufacturers in the Thiers region of France using a fully forged process; the knives of some of these manufacturers are highly regarded. However, the name "Sabatier" came into use before intellectual property laws and is not protected; knives legally bearing the name range from high-quality knives made in France to cheap mass-produced products of poor quality from France and other countries; a registered logo or full name, or both, such as "65 Sabatier Perrier", is necessary to establish origin and quality.
