9.47 is a table story, but also a wine story. This atypical table knife was imagined by former 1 Michelin star chef Yves Charles.
At the end of 2004, during a meal organised by Yves Charles in his restaurant with friends, some dinner guests were about to enjoy an succulent duck breast. Some had taken their own pocket knives "Le Français" by Perceval; the others used those dressed on the table. They noticed that the meat was perfectly cut with pocket knives, whereas it rolled laboriously under the thread of the restaurant's knives.
Yves questionned himself: " Would it be possible to find the same edge than those pocket knives on table knives ? "
The idea was born : go back to the origin of a knife's function: its cutting edge. A table knife should be designed with as much care as a pocket knife. After many discussions around this project during the evening, they came to the conclusion that this knife would take the same shape than the model which inspired the idea. A large part of this creative energy had been probably maliciously inspired by the wine shared during this meal.
A "primeur" wine with 9,47° alcohol, produced by one of the dinner guests: Stéphane Majeune from the Peyra domain. This wine was about to give its name to this new project : the 9.47 table knife.
The 9.47 is designed to appeal to knives’ lovers with excellent cutting power combined with an attractive, user-friendly shape, that is as good at cutting soft white squid meat as a thick steak with shallots.
The barrel chosen to create this specific knife was tanked with a barrel of the cuvee Les Perrières 2014 by C&P Breton.
