A great meal starts with two things: the best quality ingredients and the most exceptional tools. TB Groupe, a five-generation family-owned knife maker, provides the latter with its newest installment to the Furtif Evercut line.

Having built a reputation around superior quality, the firm has become one of the most renowned knife makers in all of France. TB Groupe’s knives have also been certified as eco-friendly with ISO 9001 accreditation straight from the French government. They are currently the only green cutlery maker in the country to hold this accreditation. In short, not only are their knives incredibly durable and very, very sharp, they’ll also help you feel less guilty about being too lazy to recycle.

It's far from coincidence that the word “Furtif” translates to stealth in English, as the blades’ atypical, chiseled aerodynamic design has obvious parallels to stealth flying machinery. Available in four sizes with a stylish inky black coloring, the set also boasts a laser-bonded titanium carbide surface that lasts up to 300 times longer than standard steel knives. Such imperishability translates to a huge win for any serious or amateur chef because the blade will only need sharpening roughly once every 25 years.
