Henri Viallon is an artistic cutler and Meilleur Ouvrier de France. He creates one of his knives before our eyes, a true work of art, from the forging of the Damascus blade to the assembly of the ivory handle. Alongside Henri Viallon's work, this documentary presents the most modern techniques that govern the industrial manufacture of knives in the Thiers region, which has lived off cutlery for five centuries. A 26-minute documentary directed by Thierry Marchadier and Jean-Marie Le Lay, produced by 1+1 Production.
