Yssingeaux 11 cm Classic Pocket Knife - Poplar Burl

1 in stock

The Yssingeaux (pronounced "e seɪn jo") knife, named after its origin in the village of Yssingeaux in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France, has a rich history. The current version coined Yssingeaux around 1920, evolved from slightly different designs dating back to the late 1800s. These earlier forms include the "Issoire," "Bourbonnais (1890)," "Façon Chabrol (1908)," and "Le Basque (1912)."

Consider this: This knife is skillfully handcrafted in Thiers, Europe's renowned cutlery hub. Gilles® Fontenille Pataud's collection is highly regarded as some of the finest pocket knives in France. Each knife is crafted by a dedicated artisan, which ensures a sense of pride in owning the final piece.100% Made in France

How to Maintain Your Pocket Knife

Pocket Knives are designed for cutting only. Do not use it as a screwdriver, crowbar, wood chisel, as this can cause irreversible damage and void the warranty.

To keep your pocket knife in top condition, follow these maintenance tips:

  1. Lubricate Moving Parts: Periodically apply a few drops of lubricant to all moving parts. This ensures smooth operation and extends the life of your knife.
  2. Hand Wash Only: Always hand wash your pocket knife. After washing, dry it quickly with a soft towel to prevent rust and corrosion.
  3. Recommended Lubricant: We highly recommend using Sentry-Solutions Tuf Glide for all our folding knives. It provides excellent lubrication and protection.

Important Note: Tuf Glide is not considered a "food-safe" product. Avoid using it on knives that come into contact with food.

By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your pocket knife remains reliable and ready for your next adventure.
