"The violet wood used for the handle of the Rouennais is a precious and elegant wood. It is recognisable by its dark colour and distinctive grain. This dense, resistant wood is pleasant to hold. It ages well over time.
Did you know? Violet wood has nothing to do with the violet flower. Its name comes from its slightly flowery scent when worked.
Why choose a violet wood handle? This noble wood adds a touch of elegance to this traditional knife. It stands up well to everyday wear and tear. The Rouennais made from violet wood was often given as a wedding present in Normandy.
Violet wood requires very little maintenance. Simply wipe with a soft cloth. Avoid water and chemicals."
