The city of Thiers is turned towards cutlery. In each street, each village around Thiers, it is possible to find a cutlery, a cutlery workshop, a person who works in a cutlery.
To make a knife, several trades are necessary :
- the forged man or the steel supplier
- the temering man which will give a certain hardness to the steel
- the grinding man to give a cutting angle to the blade
- the supplier of plastic, wood, bone, and other very special materials
- the polisher
- the editor
But let's not forget also all the companies which are necessary for cutlery, but which do not manufacture knives or parts for knives: packaging; designers and marketing companies, web designers ...
Currently, THIERS has large cutlery stores, but also small workshops which manufacture specific products. THIERS is the capital of Cutlery which has a certain history which we can discover by visiting the Museum of Cutlery, or the Coutelia fair which takes place every May in THIERS. The Valley of the spinning wheels is also very interesting because we find the work of yesteryear with these spinning wheels which were from workshops near the Durolle river in order to use the hydraulic force to turn the machines.
THIERS is a historically cutlery city. But it is also a knife known worldwide.
