Il fabrique des couteaux d’exception, les coulisses de son métier.

Today, I'm meeting Arnaud, a cutler for several years now, in the heart of Brittany. He's opening his workshop and forge to us for the day. He'll tell us about his journey and the behind-the-scenes aspects of his craft. It promises to be a fascinating day. I hope this video will give you a clearer understanding of the cutlery trade.
