6 questions
Is the knife made of titanium?
No. The blade is crafted from hardened stainless steel at 60 ± 2 HRC, and the handle is wood. Titanium is too soft to hold a sharp edge on a knife blade; we reserve it for our boards and utensils.
What is the length of the blade?
20.5 cm – the versatile chef’s size, with a total length of 34 cm and a weight of 237 g.
What is grade 1 titanium?
Grade 1 is the purest form of titanium—99.5% pure. It’s the same material used for surgical implants and aerospace components. It is completely inert, meaning it will never react with food, acids, or bases.
Is titanium truly non-stick?
Pure titanium naturally offers non-stick properties without any chemical coating. With a small amount of fat and gradual heating, food won’t stick. Unlike Teflon, this property never fades over time.
Does titanium release anything into food?
No. Grade 1 titanium is entirely biocompatible and chemically inert. Even at very high temperatures, it releases no particles, heavy metals, or toxins. That’s why it’s used inside the human body.
What’s the difference between titanium, stainless steel, and cast iron?
Stainless steel contains nickel and chromium, which can leach into food. Cast iron is heavy and prone to rust if not cared for. Titanium is three times lighter than cast iron, stronger than stainless steel, and 100% inert. There’s simply no comparison.
Cutting well
1 question
How should I sharpen it?
Use a ceramic or diamond honing rod to realign the edge whenever you notice resistance while cutting. For true sharpening, use a whetstone once or twice a year.
Care & longevity
1 question
Is it dishwasher safe?
No: the handle is made of wood. Hand wash only, dry immediately, and never soak.
Delivery & warranty
9 questions
Is it covered by a warranty?
Yes, it comes with a lifetime warranty against material and manufacturing defects. Normal wear of the cutting edge is not covered.
What is your returns policy?
You have 14 days from receipt to change your mind, no explanation needed.
A full refund is only possible if the product is returned to us unused, complete, and in its original, undamaged packaging. You may open the parcel and inspect the product, but if it has been used (cooking, cutting, dishwasher), it is no longer considered new: a deduction will be applied according to our published, standard depreciation scale—€15 if the original packaging is damaged or missing, 20% for signs of handling, 50% if the product has been used, up to 100% if it is damaged.
Return shipping costs, tracking number, and insurance are entirely your responsibility. Tracking is mandatory: without it, a lost parcel cannot be refunded.
How do I request a refund?
1. Email info@forneau.fr within 14 days of receipt, including your order number. 2. We will send you the return address and a case number (no returns accepted without this number). 3. Return the product in its original packaging, at your expense, with a tracking number, within 14 days of your request. 4. Once received, we will inspect the product and refund you within 14 days at the latest, minus any applicable deductions, to your original payment method.
Initial delivery costs are refunded at the standard rate if the entire order is returned. Your return shipping costs are never refunded.
Is delivery free?
Yes. Delivery is complimentary on all orders, worldwide, with no minimum spend.
Can I track my order?
Absolutely. As soon as your parcel is shipped, you’ll receive an email with a real-time tracking link. You can also contact us at info@forneau.fr with any questions about your delivery.
Do you offer international delivery?
Yes. The countries we ship to and estimated delivery times are listed in our shipping policy. If your country isn’t shown, please email us at info@forneau.fr.
Can I change or cancel my order?
You can change or cancel your order within 2 hours of purchase by contacting info@forneau.fr. After this time, your order will already be in preparation and can no longer be modified.
Which payment methods do you accept? Is payment secure?
We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Our store uses SSL protocol and is fully secured by Shopify Payments: your payment details are never stored on our servers.
