L’Hôtel Royal***** d’Évian-les-Bains highlights Dozorme’s cutlery
It’s in an exceptional environment on Lake Geneva’s shores that we find the knives Claude Dozorme, within the very chic and very prestigious Royal hotel of Evian-les-Bains.
Located in the heart of a private estate of 19 hectares, the 5-star hotel, which received the Palace label in 2016, dominates the heights of Evian-les-Bains offering breathtaking views of Lake Geneva and the French and Swiss Alps.
In this rare place of French luxury, the arts of the table must always be flawlessly. That’s why Dozorme cutlery is present in this sophisticated establishment, especially in Les Fresques restaurant. Recently awarded with a star in the Michelin Guide, the establishment offers an inventive and refined cuisine under the leadership of Chef Patrice Vander. On the menu, there are some classics, such as wild sea bream marinated in mango, wokame and caviar Osciètre, Bresse’s chicken, supreme studded foie gras with herbs and yellow wine or “dishes collections”.
Here, the pieces signed Dozorme invite themselves on the tables, but not in simple knives laid on the tablecloth. The knives are proposed to the client, expertly staged in an oak cabinet. The customer has the choice between four table knives manufactured within the cutlery of Thiers: a Laguiole , a Le Thiers®, a Capuchin or a Shuttle 6.16. Proof of their success with a clientele accustomed to exceptional products, the establishment recently offers for sale, in its shop, the 4 models of knives that contribute to the reputation of the manufacture.
Le Thiers® – Table knives Claude Dozorme
Capuchin – Table knives Claude Dozorme
Shuttle 6.16 – Table knives Claude Dozorme
For cheese service, everything is orchestrated in the rules of the art. The establishment opted for the complete range of Dozorme cheese knives presented in an elegant leather pouch. So, whether they be soft, pressed, cooked, uncooked, marbled or goat cheese, with each cheese, a knife for a perfectly tailored cut.
Range of cheese knives – Dozorme cutlery
And the partnership does not stop there! Soon, the entire sommellerie team will be equipped with custom Dozorme corkscrews at the initiative of Loïc Chavasse-Frette, sommelier in chief.
Finally, to deepen the cutlery knowledge of the restaurant staff, “cutlery” workshops will even be offered.
For Sébastien Caquelard, Director of Operations in charge of catering “it goes without saying that through this partnership, the Royal Hotel is much more than just a prescriber but a true ambassador of French know-how embodied by the Dozorme cutlery. We are very proud of this collaboration, which is highly appreciated by our customers. We have very good feedback on Claude Dozorme knives. We are all the more pleased that this collaboration was set up following a visit by Claudine Dozorme, as an individual. In a totally impromptu way! “.

Made in France
Couteau à fromage bleu blanc rouge
One of the greatest pride in the Claude Dozorme cutlery is to maintain its entire production in France. All manufacturing steps are in fact entirely manufactured within the cutlery industry, from the cutting of steel to the assembly of knives via grinding, polishing and sharpening.
A know-how of excellence exercised for more than 100 years!
In order to promote this 100% French production to the greatest number of people, the family-owned factory has designed new ranges of pocket knives, kitchen knives or sommeliers ostensibly displaying the colors of France or alluding to French cultural heritage.
Clos Laguiole bleu blanc rouge
Thus some products of the family cutlery is adorned with a blue white red border on their sleeves that also reminds the collar of the MOF (Meilleur Ouvrier de France). This is the case for the sommelier Clos Laguiole, as well as the brand new large cheese knife, both dressed with a dwarf birch handle.
As for the collection of Liners Le Thiers® named Made in France, it is reminiscent of the famous Eiffel Tower or the half-timbering typical medieval houses of the city of Thiers, with its braces affixed to a colored plexiglass.
Available in 4 colors (black, blue, white and red), this knife with sharp lines is presented on a specific map highlighting the French cultural heritage.
Beautiful winks to the art of living in the French!

The Shagreen
Among the materials that Dozorme cutlery uses for its finest pieces, there is one that never ceases to amaze and fascinate us because of its beauty and texture: the shagreen.
Halfway between leather and mineral, it has a smooth appearance that reveals small rows of sparkling pearls. A true jewelery material that enhances Le Thiers® pocket knives by Dozorme. Indeed, this exceptional leather gives them a chic and precious touch while giving them a resolutely contemporary look.
Because just like the blade of a knife that must be perfect, the handle is a separate piece that requires to be dressed and adorned with the finest fabrics.
All about shagreen
At the same time, rare and precious, shagreen is a ray or shark leather used for many years in cabinet making, casing and more recently in leather goods. It must be said that it is by far the most resistant on the planet. This extraordinary resistance comes from the microscopic texture of its fibers that are crossed (like a fabric), instead of being parallel as on any other traditional leather. It is the tanning of this skin made of naturally crossed fibers which makes it possible to combine a beautiful skin granular, soft, extraordinarily resistant and of an original beauty.
Its name comes from its inventor, Jean-Claude Galluchat, a Master Craftsman of Louis XV who was the first, in the 18th century, to develop in France the use of this exceptional material. He had the habit of using this material to cover objects or small furniture on behalf of the Marquise de Pompadour.
Nowadays, the species of European rays being protected, the main and legal origin of the stingray is Thailand, where there is an abundance of a variety of stingray that is not on the list of endangered species and authorized to fish.
