Stellar Sabatier Knives

The name Sabatier originated in Thiers, France at the beginning of the 1800s.

The area of Thiers has been associated with the cutlery industry since the Middle Ages and with the advent of the industrial age manufacturers began to consolidate their crafts or trades by creating brand or trade marks.

There was some early troubles with two separate families began using the name Sabatier to market their knives.

The families do not appear to be related except by name and craft. Jean Sabatier of Le Moutier (lower Thiers) and Phillipe Sabatier of Bellevue (upper Thiers).

There is still much dispute who registered the trademark first with each claiming to have done it first.
