The success story of an unusual passion, a happy part of everyday life as explained by Martine ROSSBURGER.

Liking beautiful things, is not unusual, liking to cook for family and friends is a friendly thing. Liking “beautiful kitchen knives,“ however, is still rather a rare passion for a woman to confess (isn't it?).

Martine ROSSBURGER, owner of a kitchen equipment shop at LA BAULE boldly states her passion on her shop front “Au Diamant du Cuisinier“.

It was thanks to her brother-in-law that she first met the “beautiful kitchen knives“, when he invited her to "help" in the kitchen of his restaurant.
Strange to say the young woman quickly took pleasure in the job, which found her using all the different kinds of professional knives every day. She quickly understood the advantages of using a top quality, efficient and precise tool.
SEvents in her life then found her setting up a business demonstrating and selling top of the range professional knives at major shows and regional exhibitions.

This is when she got to know the SABATIER Diamant. brand. She was quickly won over and it became her prime argument.

Now Martine ROSSBURGER started to develop a following of faithful customers, delighted with the advice given and purchases made, who returned again and again to complete their collection or buy presents for friends.
These already included many women, who represent 50% of these “lovers of good cooking“. It was probably Martine's enthusiasm that was convincing, and in any case suggested that these pleasures were made to be shared.

Show and exhibitions are seasonal, however, and the need to work encouraged Martine ROSSBURGER to settle in one place, while continuing her work in the shows part of the time.

The chosen spot was originally Strasbourg, but in the end she set up in LA BAULE.
December 1998 saw the opening on LA BAULE's main avenue of a shop called “Au Diamant du Cuisinier“.

Passion and constancy go together for Martine, and the SABATIER Diamant“beautiful kitchen knives“ sont le crowning glory of the shop. In addition to knives, the range of products on offer includes a selection of top of the range professional tools, of exceptional quality but that are really useful for cooks.
The faithful customers of “Au Diamant du Cuisinier“ (free catalogue on request) are lovers of good cooking (men and women), ordinary people or professionals who can find certain articles here at Martine ROSSBURGER's that are virtually impossible to find elsewhere.
Two of these faithful enthusiasts are an American couple who come for a rest and thalasso-therapy course each year, and go back home with a selection of “lovely French knives“ for their friends.

To attract and convince new fans, Martine offers a test, using the 14 cm “tomato“ knife that can cut beautiful slices of tomatoes and citrus fruit, not forgetting various other vegetables (aubergines, courgettes, sweet peppers).
It is an efficient and attractive, indeed handsome knife “a real little gem“, that will quickly lead to acquisition of its brothers.
