The team installed a display rack to provide visitors with a workshop atmosphere by presenting strength tools: polishing disc, pyrography iron, abrasive belts.

And to visually feel the atmosphere of the cutlery nearby, photos were hung on the wall, helped by a video shot in the workshops. An excellent introduction to continue by visiting the cutlery without forgetting a passage through the shop that has a full range of knives made in Périgord Vert.
