L'Âme de la Fure

About

The soul of Fure. The alliance of cutlery and leather goods in Isère.

Between Lyon and Grenoble, in the heart of the Fure Valley in Isère, two artisans have decided to revive a forgotten heritage in this corner of France: the blacksmith shop. Their alliance is expressed through the creation of a range of handcrafted knives, equipped with leather sheaths and stamped "L'Âme de la Fure."

To bring this heritage project to life, these artisans chose to set up shop in a former 18th-century forge in Charavines, north of the Isère capital. This site embodies the metallurgical history of this valley, which began in the Middle Ages.

Jean-François Blouzard (blacksmith) and Martial Matsoukos (industrial mechanic, workshop manager) create objects that are as useful as they are aesthetic, combining two materials characteristic of this region: steel and leather.
