Corsican L' Antò Classic pocket knife by Fontenille Pataud. This EDC features a clever locking blade system located on the handle. Easy and comfortable to use, each user will find a way to trigger it. Like all others offered by Fontenille Pataud, this Corsican knife was created in collaboration with the Zuria family of Bonifacio Corsica.

This knife is handmade in Europe's capital of cutlery, "Thiers." The “Gilles®” Fontenille Pataud collection of knives are considered by many to be some of the best pocket knives money can buy. All Knives offered by Gilles are entirely made by a single craftsman, ensuring pride of ownership of the final piece. 100% Made in France

Because we know those questions will be asked!

Does the Lock-Top feel "in the way" when using the knife?
No, quite the contrary, here is why. The lock-top is slightly curved to feel secure when pressed by the thumb. Additionally, the filling decoration on each side provides additional grip. 

What is the best technique you found to unlock the blade?
Although there are many ways to pull up the Lock-Top, simply sliding the thumbnail under the gap is the most efficient and safe way to unlock the blade.

Shopping for a unique pocket knife not only holds the promise of ownership but the excitement of finally beholding an item admired through a screen. However, all too often, what was envisioned and what is unboxed bear a startling, sometimes painful discrepancy.

You will receive the actual folding knife shown in the photos.
No one wants to view photos of a beautiful and unique knife and receive something not even close to the representative image; this is why we take pictures of each piece. Select your One-Of-A-Kind knife!

Things to Look For
The file work on the springs (top of handle) are individually hand filled by a French artisan, therefore all are different. Additionally, two handles made from the same material can have very different patterns.

You need to know

  1. If you do not checkout after adding this unique folding knife to your cart, someone else may purchase it.
  2. After purchasing this knife the unique photo(s) may be replaced within hours. Feel free to save the actual photos of your knife for personal use.

Cattle Bone (Bovine, France). Note that it is not unusual to find areas of different shades of beige or/and small streaks of darker colors within the bone. These features only contribute to the uniqueness of such material.

Friendly and reliable service

Laguiole Imports: I'm a returning customer from Germany. For me, it would be more economic to order directly from France. Nevertheless, I order from Laguiole Imports, because here I'm able to pick the actual knife that I'm going to receive. In knives with variable scales (talk stag) and variable filework, this is important to me.

Shipping is smooth, even for customers in Germany.

A nice experience with Laguiole Imports: Some time ago I needed a proof of purchase, for insurance purposes. Had colds it on and it had been lost in the mail. I contacted Laguiole Imports, they then promptly sent a copy of the old invoice they had on file.
