Our maritime heritage
Born from a love of the sea and excellent craftsmanship, Neptunia cutlery combines the ancestral know-how of Thiers with the curves and textures of the ocean. Our knives are not mere tools, but faithful companions for sailing enthusiasts, passionate chefs, and all those who hold the ocean in their hearts.
A story of passion
Dear friends of Neptunia,
Twenty years ago, at fifty, I chose to forge a new path in my life. After a life dedicated to my family, sailing, and others, I sought to create something that truly reflected me.
The sea has always been my horizon, my refuge. Every wave, every bow slicing through the water taught me about the beauty of movement. In the memories of my grandfather's blacksmith's forge resonated the echoes of ancestral know-how. The penknife of my childhood was already an extension of my hand, a faithful companion in my explorations.
Neptunia was born from these confluences—my love of the sea meeting the age-old art of the blade. "One boat, one knife" became my philosophy, transforming the elegant lines of hulls into exceptional cutting edges.
This two-decade journey has offered me extraordinary encounters with passionate artisans, sailors, and star chefs. Through each of our knives, a little of their soul and talent shines through.
Life has given me the privilege of freedom – the freedom to choose my paths, to cultivate my passions, and now to share with you this adventure that continues to be written.
"A man is never so great as when he navigates between his childhood dreams and the mastery of the craftsman he has become."
With all my gratitude,
Thierry Henriot
Founder of Neptunia
