Tim Bernard is a young knifemaker from the Hautes-Alpes département, the highest mountainous département in France.

At the end of his training in 2015, he created the Névé brand during a competition organised by the National Institute of Handicrafts. He draws inspiration from his surroundings. His knives are characterised by their fluid and lively form, reminiscent of the alpine rivers of his homeland.

“The reason for this choice is simple, water in all its forms has always been my playground. I have been flying kayaks since my youth and I have also been kayaking at a high level (5 years member of the French team).”

Tim Bernard est un jeune coutelier originaire des Hautes-Alpes, le département de montagne le plus haut de France.

Il a créé la marque Névé à la fin de sa formation en 2015, lors du concours de l’Institut national des métiers d’art. Il puise son inspiration dans son environnement. Ainsi, ses couteaux se distinguent par leur forme fluide et vivante, rappelant les rivières alpines de sa région.

“La raison de ce choix est simple, l’eau sous toutes ses formes a toujours été mon terrain de jeu. Je vole depuis mon adolescence et j’ai également pratiqué le kayak à haut niveau (membre de l’équipe de France pendant 5 ans)”.
