Guy Degrenne cutlery was born from a bold vision in post-war France. In 1948, Guy Degrenne, a young and ambitious entrepreneur, saw opportunity in the ruins of conflict—specifically, in discarded tank armor left on the battlefields of Normandy. He bought the steel and used it to create high-quality cutlery, breathing new life into French craftsmanship.

With an eye for innovation and a commitment to elegance, Degrenne revolutionized tableware by combining industrial precision with refined design. His factory in Vire quickly became a hub for modern cutlery production, blending tradition with cutting-edge technology. By the 1960s, Guy Degrenne had become a household name across France, celebrated for making luxury accessible.

Today, the brand continues to embody French art de vivre, adorning tables in homes, restaurants, and even Michelin-starred establishments around the world. Each piece tells a story—not just of steel and style, but of resilience, reinvention, and timeless sophistication.
