The artist
Guillaume Nadeau
Québec
I am a knife maker, and it was at La Patente workshop, a solidarity cooperative in Limoilou, that my journey began. For over two years, I have been dedicated to this unique space, where I helped transform the metal workshop into a vibrant, well-equipped place animated by a creative community. This environment, rich in exchanges and positive energy, nourishes me every day and inspires each of my creations.
My kitchen knives are distinguished by the use of old iron, a fascinating material that I collect along the shores of the Saint-Lawrence River. This iron, steeped in history and natural impurities, dates back to the pre-industrial era. I showcase it in some of my knife collections using, among other things, the Japanese san-mai technique. I forge a very hard steel core for an unparalleled fine cut, surrounded by sides of old iron that provide great flexibility and a captivating visual aspect.
Most of my blades are hand-polished on natural Japanese stones, a meticulous process that achieves exceptional sharpness and unique beauty. I also pay great attention to the handles, carefully selecting wood types to blend simplicity and elegance. My work is a fusion of aesthetic exploration and respect for heritage, where each knife tells a story and offers a cutting experience that elevates the art of cooking.
