After the death of Pierre, his son Pierre Thiers (1884-1962) would take over the company helped by his brother Louis.

The factory remained in family hands until 1985, when Philippe Gilles Thiers Reynewaeter sold it.

Gilles Reynewaeter undertook not only to perpetuate the tradition , also extended the offer with new materials , ivory , horn, bone , woods from everywhere , Damascus steel , including turtle shell , until then reserved for nobles and kings. Turning Thiers Issard into what is today, a world reference.

 --------------------------------------------

A carbon steel knife is a precision tool, in situations and humidity environments without proper maintenance, it can quickly show rust.

Please, if you have any questions about its maintenance we will be happy to help you.

With simple and adequate care it will fulfill its function for many, many years.

* The best way to keep carbon steel is to use it daily, clean it with warm water and dry it well with a soft cloth or towel after each use.

If you will not use the razor for a while, we will keep it out of its case with a product that protects the blade rust and stains as petrolatum, preferably other than water based. A knife of this quality deserves taking care as lifelong.
