The BALIK TSAR NIKOLAJ fillet was introduced in October 1984. Since then it has continued its triumphal procession throughout the culinary world. This particular delicacy was crying out for a special way of serving. This is why Hans Gerd Kübel devised the “La Parure du Tsar”, which he wanted to be recognized as “practical” and an “exclusive delicacy”.
The “STONE”
“Norwegian, blue-grey shimmering granite, a 'labrador', a 'larvikite', a sub-type of 'syenite', containing feldspar, an igneous rock, very hard, infinitely weather-proof and indescribably beautiful.”.
THE “SICKLE”
“I wanted to develop a tool, an instrument, to hold the BALIK fillet when cutting, to provide a guide for the knife and also to present the slivers of salmon nicely.“
THE “SWORD”
“The knife had to be designed so that the BALIK fillet could be cut vertically with a soft, rounded slicing action and in such a way that the knife – when turned on its side – also serves as a “slice lifter”.
