1790.10 - Le Thiers® Fontenille-Pataud Gilles Pocket Knife

Le Thiers® knife from Fontenille-Pataud Gilles® Pocket series in juniper 

Fontenille-Pataud is one of those cutlers from the Thiers basin who have come together to perpetuate this mastery and know-how through a knife bearing the name of their city:
Thiers, the capital of French cutlery for more than 6 centuries and who have made the reputation of French knives by respecting the 3 key ideas: Territoriality, Quality, Morality.

The Thiers® Pocket by Fontenille Pataud is a sober, elegant knife. Like the Thiers® Nature, it is one of the rare Thiers® models with an easy-opening blade lock.
A perfect balance between the handle and the blade thanks to the groove at the back of the spring to allow the blade to fold inwards.
Easy opening by a precision mechanism, closing possible by slamming the blade without damaging the cutting edge as it is protected by a fixed stop to guarantee the longevity of the cut. 
The blade is made of 14C28 stainless steel, hardness 58-59HRC, the tip of the knife will fit into a groove milled into the spring.
Matte stainless steel bolts
Rear pump blade lock: Lock-back
Juniper wood handle 
Hand forged and chiselled spring
