: Of the many makers that create Laguiole-style knives, Fontenille Pataud is generally regarded as the best. Each knife is handmade to precision specs and is a work of visual and textural art. All of their knives are made in their workshop in Thiers, France. Their team is comprised of eight skilled craftsmen and apprentices. Gilles Steinberg, owner and master craftsman, manages the group. Keeping the company’s size small and employing only the best cutlers keeps the quality and exclusiveness of these knives at a premium level.
The Laguiole Nature is the first in a range of hand made locking Laguiole folding knives made in Theirs, France by the artisans of Fontenille Pataud and is expertly crafted. This model can be opened with one hand.
It features the traditional shepherd’s cross and Laguiole bee, which is solid steel and forged directly into the spring. The spring is made from 3mm thick Z20c13 stainless steel. The spring & bee are then hand chased with a file. Each knife features hand filework unique to the knife. Hand selected masur birch scales are accented with brushed stainless steel bolsters.
The blade is crafted from special RWL34 Swedish powder stainless steel, hardened to 60Hrc. This “super-steel” is perfect for those who love knives with a sharper, longer lasting edge.
This beautiful utility knife comes in leather pocket pouch. Also included is a certificate of authenticity. This makes a wonderful gift that will last a lifetime!
