Looking for Sabatier dimensions

[Storm W]

I remember a thread in the last 6 months that had all of the dimensions for a classic sabatier. It might have just referred to a old thread. Does anyone remember where that is?

 

[Stacy E. Apelt - Bladesmith]

Sabatier is both a knife type and a knife brand. While the shape is somewhat the same, size and dimensions vary.
The term was coined to separate the higher quality knives made in the Thiers France region from the cheap mass produced knives being made elsewhere and imported in the late 1800's. Several companies use the term/name. Basically, it is a chef's blade shape with integral guard or bolster. Size varies from parring knife to 12" chef's size. Probably the size most folks call a Sabatier is the 8" to 10" blade.

It is roughly the same as putting Sheffield on an English made knife, or Yasuki/Yasigi on a Japanese knife, to imply high quality steel.

Use the custom search engine in the stickys to find the many older threads on Sabatier.

Here are some original Thiers blanks:

I have been using the search engine and can't find the thread I was looking for. The one I was trying to find had orginal dimensions of a classic knife and a more modern take with a slightly higher heel. If I remember right there was either a file or a grid that could be copied. It was in the last 6 months and I was hoping someone would remember it or the guy who posted it could direct me to it.

They also come in different lengths and styles etc. you probably know this

You can buy the style and size u like on ebay. The first pic Stacy showed is mine of when I purchased several blanks to practice on.

Thanks. I'm just looking for a specific thread. If I recall it was the more triangular style.

Are you thinking of Nogent knives? They are more triangular, with hidden tang handles. (Also the blades are less thick than Sabatier discussed so far.

If you cant find your thread, i have several of both the Sabatier Elephant brand, and also of the Nogent knives. I can always trace them out for you...

Sounds like maybe it was my thread you were remembering. This was the knife that came from that:
