Flavien Walterscheid

Professional knife sharpener and founder of the knife bar “Affûteur Japonais Parisien”

The son of a craftsman, Flavien Walterscheid grew up with an appreciation for a job well done and a deep respect for the manual trades. In 2020, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, he decided to devote himself to sharpening knives and cutting tools. As a self-taught craftsman, he has developed his expertise with passion, high standards, and meticulous attention to detail, all while discovering a world that fascinates him: the world of gastronomy and all those who bring it to life.

Today, the company supports individuals, restaurant owners, and culinary professionals in the Île-de-France region, applying its expertise to ensure precision in technique and the quality of tools—both of which are essential to the day-to-day work of the culinary trade.
