Knives in France

[Speaker]

Hey, guys!
I'm going to Paris next week. Does anyone know good knife stores in Paris? Need there addresses.

Thanks!

Speaker,

These two spring to mind:

If you check out the different manufacturers in the list, you'll come across alot of traditional french designs.
(in english too!)

Click 'catalogue' and then 'coutellerie'(knives), after that,
'artisanat' means 'custom made'

There you go, my first post on bladeforums (long time visitor though)

Enjoy Paris, there's more to see then just knives!
I'm Belgian myself, so Paris is really 'just around the corner'

Kindal's on the Avenue de l'Opera -- excellent knife store (and they speak English). It's only a couple of blocks from Courty et Fils (the first link provided by Stropper).

I lived in Paris last four years, I tried many stores...

...the winner is Armes Bastille, Rue de Lyon, just 50 meters from Place de la Bastille. Great choice, great prices, great people. If you have some luck, you will meet Fred PERRIN there.

If you go there, ask for Isidore, he is the boss. Tell him you're a friend from Frédéric K, who left for Metz, he will remind me

Thanks for the answers!
I've already been there but did not get a chance to visit any knife stores at that time.

Thanks!
