1798 Le Thiers® Fontenille-Pataud Gilles ‘Nature’ carbon fibre knife

Le Thiers®’ knife from Fontenille-Pataud Gilles® series Nature 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® Nature by Fontenille Pataud is slimmer and lighter than its big brother, the Thiers® Gentleman, with an easy opening and 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. 
The matt, notched blade is made from 14C28 stainless steel, hardness 58-59HRC. The tip of the knife fits into a groove milled into the spring. The cutting edge of the Thiers® Nature by Fontenille Pataud is protected by a solid fixed blade stop.
Rear pump blade lock: Lock-back
Red marbled carbon fibre handle
Forged and hand-chiselled spring.
Fitted with a blade stop to guarantee long-lasting cutting performance.

A very light knife that's equally at home in town or country, it will appeal to collectors and lovers of fine blades alike.
