Jean Dubost: Excellence in French Cutlery Since 1920

Founded in 1920 in Viscomtat, a small village near Thiers, the historic capital of French cutlery, Jean Dubost is a family-owned company that for four generations has combined tradition and innovation in the production of high-quality kitchen knives and table cutlery.

Over the years, Jean Dubost has maintained a balance between traditional production methods and the adoption of modern technologies. This approach has allowed the company to offer products that combine artisanal excellence with contemporary efficiency, meeting the demands of a discerning clientele both in France and internationally.

Aware of the importance of sustainability, Jean Dubost has developed, since 2008, a range of eco-friendly knives and cutlery. These products are made with innovative materials, such as bioplastics derived from corn starch and certified PEFC oak wood, sourced from sustainably managed forests. In 2009, the company became the first French cutlery manufacturer to obtain the PEFC certification, highlighting its commitment to the environment.

In 2012, Jean Dubost was awarded the “Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant” (EPV) label, a recognition that attests to the excellence of French craftsmanship. The company continues to celebrate the art of the table and the kitchen, offering products that combine tradition, creativity, and everyday pleasure.

In addition to consolidating its presence in the French market, Jean Dubost exports its products worldwide, valued for their quality, design, and reliability. The company’s ongoing pursuit of excellence and attention to customer needs makes Jean Dubost an ideal partner for those seeking cutlery and knives that represent the authentic tradition of French cutlery.
