Départ de l'atelier sous 1 à 3 jours ouvrés
The Cachalot
The first models of the iconic "Cachalot" were imagined and crafted at sea nearly 30 years ago.
Today, the blades, handles, and sheaths are entirely made in our workshop with passion and precision.
The cachalot's mouth is an inlay of wood veneer.
The knife is designed to fit perfectly in the hand. Both beautiful to look at and pleasant to hold.
From the tip of the blade to the end of the handle, every part is meticulously crafted in our workshop with dedication and expertise.
Duchess Anne
Built in 1901 at the Bremerhaven shipyards in Germany, this training ship, originally flying the German flag, bore a different name: Grossherzogin Elisabeth.
In 1946, it was handed over to the French Navy as war reparations and renamed Duchesse Anne, in reference to Duchess Anne of Brittany, Queen of France starting in 1491. Initially used as barracks, it was abandoned in Lorient in 1970.
During this period, the ship was progressively looted and, unfortunately, severely deteriorated.
In 1981, the city of Dunkirk, wishing to preserve the memory of the era when the port was a hub for large sailing ships, acquired the vessel for a symbolic franc with the project of transforming it into a floating museum.
An association, Les Amis de la Duchesse Anne, was formed to restore the ship. In 1982, it became the first ship to benefit from state protection by being classified as a historical monument, accelerating its restoration. It took 20 years of work to restore the vessel to its former glory.
After two years of preparation, the restoration of this majestic three-masted ship, classified as a historical monument since 1982, began in 2024, with plans to reopen to the public in the summer of 2025.
