1798.10 - Fontenille-Pataud Gilles Pocket range Le Thiers® knife

Le Thiers®’ knife by Fontenille-Pataud Gilles® series Pocket range 

Fontenille-Pataud is one of a group of cutlers from the Thiers region who have come together to perpetuate their mastery and expertise through a knife bearing the name of their town:
Thiers, the capital of French cutlery for over 6 centuries, and who have built 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 handle and blade thanks to the groove at the back of the spring to allow the blade to fold inwards.
Easy to open thanks to a precision mechanism, the blade can be slammed shut without damaging the cutting edge, which is protected by a fixed stop to ensure a long-lasting cut. 
Matt 14C28 stainless steel notched blade, hardness 58-59HRC, the tip of the knife fits into a groove milled into the spring.
Matt stainless steel bolsters
Rear pump blade lock: Lock-back
Red carbon fibre handle, milled groove in the pump
Spring forged and chiselled by hand
Genuine leather sheath.
Fitted with a blade stop to guarantee long-lasting cutting performance.

This lightweight knife is equally at home in town or country, and will appeal to collectors and lovers of fine blades alike.
