    Highly competent and professional teams, who are also very friendly. I bought my first knife in La Rochelle 20 years ago and it's still like new. Quality materials and unique pieces.

    Hello, The knife arrived safely today. It's magnificent, but I had no doubt it would be; my "sperm whale" knife has been in excellent condition for 15 years. I wanted to thank you and your team for what you've done. This gesture is very important because it might be the last gift my wife will ever give me. I know you weren't obligated to grant my request, but it means a great deal to us. A thousand thanks wouldn't be enough; you all have my infinite gratitude. May the sea winds continue to propel you to achieve great things and bring happiness to people. Have a wonderful day, everyone from the FAROL crew. Denis and Nathalie
