These 11 cm handle Laguiole folding knives are a testament to the finest French-made artistry. Handcrafted from start to finish by a single expert cutler, these knives hail from Thiers, the historic capital of European cutlery. As part of the prestigious Gilles® Fontenille Pataud collection, each piece is designed for the discerning collector who values unparalleled quality and a lifetime of pride in ownership.

Every knife in this series features a forged bee and a full-length hand-chiseled spring, with the iconic shepherd's cross appearing on most models. For added durability and precision, these knives include a solid hardened blade stop. This mechanical feature is engineered to prevent the blade's edge from contacting the inner spring, preserving the steel's sharpness and integrity for years to come.
