1802 Fontenille-Pataud ‘Le Thiers® Advance’ folding knife, poplar burl

Le Thiers® Advance’ knife by Fontenille-Pataud blue burr poplar handle

Fontenille-Pataud is one of a group of cutlers from the Thiers area 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® Advance by Fontenille Pataud is a pocket knife for the future. With its sleek lines and effective blade locking system, this knife will fit perfectly into your everyday life and be your faithful companion throughout the day.

A matt, notched blade (central pump) in RWL34 steel will keep its sharpness for a long time. Blade lock that doesn't hit the bottom of the knife when it's closed. Polished interior spring.

The handle is made from stabilised blue poplar burl. Stabilised poplar has the technical qualities of resin but retains all its aesthetic qualities.
