The Laguiole XS 9 cm represents the ultimate expression of the "Gentleman’s knife"—compact, sophisticated, and engineered for those who appreciate discreet luxury. This small and elegantly designed pen knife incorporates a precision lock back mechanism to ensure that the blade locks securely when in use. A Fontenille Pataud masterpiece, it features a traditionally forged bee and a smooth, classic spring, markers of a knife crafted with absolute precision by a single master artisan in the heart of France.

Individual Photography: Because Juniper wood is celebrated for its highly irregular grain, swirling knots, and distinct "peppered" spots, no two handles are alike. We provide high-resolution photography for each piece; the knife pictured is the exact one you will receive. This ensures that the specific grain movement and organic character you select is precisely what enters your collection.

Handle Character: This model is adorned with scales of genuine Juniper (Genévrier). Historically one of the most beloved woods in French cutlery, Juniper is famous for its natural, long-lasting fragrance—a subtle, peppery scent reminiscent of gin. The wood is exceptionally beautiful, featuring a pale, creamy base color deeply contrasted by dark, intricate swirls and small, character-defining knots. It is a dense, warm-to-the-touch material that polishes to a fine, satin luster, offering a sensory experience that is both tactile and aromatic.
