Why does cedar burr fascinate knife lovers so much? This precious wood offers a unique speckling that tells a story thousands of years old. The Monnerie knife, made by Teymen at La Monnerie-le-Montel near Thiers, combines tradition and natural beauty. Its ergonomic shape fits perfectly into the palm of the hand, guaranteeing optimal comfort when gripping.
Did you know? Cedar burl comes from outgrowths at the tree's crown, giving it exceptional density and strength.
In ancient times, Amerindians used cedar bark to treat scurvy. Jacques Cartier and his companions were even cured by cedar tea during their wintering in 1535-1536.
Cedar burl has low anisotropy, meaning that the wood behaves similarly in all directions. This characteristic makes it an ideal material for knife handles."
