The movement stays simple. The handle material changes. Les Responsables brings together knives with 94% or 96% bio-based handles, for preparing and sharing meals. Paring knives, peelers and blades for tomatoes or the table keep practical use at the centre. The Silhouette Collection extends this approach through a composite made from wood and vegetable pil, without complicating the care of tools used every day at home.
Clear materials and practical choices
For Les Responsables, handles are made from 94% of material derived from reclaimed sugar cane waste. They remain dishwasher-safe. Grey, green and black make up the family’s colours. Choosing the material does not remove ordinary needs: holding a knife, preparing an ingredient and cleaning up after the meal. Those practical details still matter every day.
The XC50CrMoV15 stainless steel blade is worked in our Biesles workshops, Haute-Marne. Hand-honing after grinding forms part of its manufacture. For the table, Silhouette uses another 97% bio-based material: a composite based on wood fibers and vegetable oil. Different materials can answer the same everyday need in different ways.
## Tools for preparation and the table
The 9 cm straight-edged paring knife handles small and medium-sized fruit and vegetables. The 11 cm version provides more length. The finely serrated tomato knife enters skins before passing through softer flesh. These are three complementary uses for everyday food preparation.
Single- and double-edged peelers work with firm fruit and vegetables. The single-edged version is designed for right-handed use. At the table, the double-serrated steak knife and round-tipped table knife offer different profiles. Silhouette introduces a more slender shape with fine 1 mm serrations.
These bio-based handles are dishwasher-safe. To choose, begin with the tool you are missing or the one you use most often. A well-suited knife naturally finds its place. The approach starts there: with a clearly identified material and the everyday actions you continue to enjoy, whether you are preparing a quick lunch or a meal for others.
