Michel Bras : Table Knife The Capuchadou

Michel Bras

The story begins with a request by the famous French chefs Michel Bras and his son Sebastian. They want something different, a knife that carries within a spirit of their region. The Forge de Laguiole cutler André BRAS ( Michel's brother ) responded immediately with a capuchadou, but one that is inspired by the 21st century.

The capuchadou was made by local toolmakers and described by 19 century scientist Armand-Alexis Monteil as having a ‘fixed blade’ with ‘a very short handle’ and often ‘carried in a pants pocket.’ They were used for everything;  from cutting wood to cutting bread. As a souvenir to those days and to pay homage to the region, Forge de Laguiole has created the capuchadou.
