Vitrine Knife Suite — 5 + Block
Tax included where applicable. Delivery and commissioning arranged by your concierge.
ELZORVAN Atelier — the cook's instruments
Knives are instruments before they are tools; the Vitrine is tuned that way — paring to slicing in honest gradation, a bench that regrinds and rehandles for life, and steel chosen for the whetstone, not the drawer.
Handles are riveted, never welded to hope: bronze and iron fittings cast in our own moulds, fixed with three rivets and tested against the twist of a full pot. Tinning, grinding and polishing are services as much as processes — the same bench that made your piece will renew it for decades.

- Fitting and engraving by the house ateliers
- Care cards state the honest maintenance calendar
- Riveted walnut and oak handles, full tang
- Steel, walnut and brass from named EU works

Care
Knives wash by hand, dry at once, and sleep in the block or on the magnet — never loose in a drawer. Wooden boards only; glass and stone are for pastry, not edges.
Hone weekly on the steel, sharpen seasonally on the stone, and the stated angle lasts a lifetime of dinners.
Questions, Answered
Do blocks come sized to the knife suites?
Yes — every block and station lists which suites it seats, edge-down and finger-safe. Buying suite and block together earns the atelier's fitting at no charge.
What steel are the knives?
Forged high-carbon stainless or true carbon steel, stated per suite with hardness and edge angle on the card. Handles are riveted walnut or oak; nothing is glued to hope.
The ELZORVAN Promise
Every ELZORVAN piece states its materials as contract, not poetry: copper gauge in millimetres, porcelain firing in degrees, linen weight in grams per square metre — printed on the card in the box and honoured on the bench for fifteen years.
