What does Orfèvre hollow-handled knife mean?

The term "Orfèvre" (French for "goldsmith") evokes a long and illustrious tradition of metalworking artistry. Sambonet's Orfèvre hollow handle knives pay homage to this legacy, employing a time-honored technique where the blade is meticulously secured within the handle using a special cement paste filling. The most significant feature of hollow-handled knives is their lightness. The hollow construction of the handle makes the knife lighter, which can reduce hand fatigue when used for extended periods.
 
What is the difference between a one-piece knife and a hollow-handled knife?

There are two types of table knives:

• Monobloc knife, or one-piece knife, comes from a single piece realized completely from the mold. One-piece knives are often heavier and the handle appears aesthetically smoother bound to the blade.
• Hollow handle knife, or Orfèvre hollow-handled knife, knife comes with a more complex production process. The two pieces are welded together and the handle is then attached to the blade with a special chemical cement. The weight of the knife results more balanced: the balance point is near the middle of the knife, between blade and handle.
