The Le Thiers Gentleman 12 cm collection by Gilles® Fontenille Pataud represents the pinnacle of the Thiers series, offering a full-sized handle designed for maximum comfort and control. This 12 cm (4.7-inch) handle provides a substantial grip, making the "Gentleman" an exceptional choice for those who desire a robust folding steak knife for daily use or refined dining experiences.

Handcrafted in Thiers, France, these knives feature a precision lockback mechanism that keeps the blade securely in place during even the most demanding tasks. The action is remarkably smooth thanks to high-performance Teflon washers, while a built-in blade stop prevents the cutting edge from contacting the inner spring when closed. Each piece is a masterclass in balance, pairing a large, ergonomic handle with an elegant, razor-sharp blade.

Because the grain and character of natural woods like Amourette (Snakewood), Desert Ironwood, and Karelian Birch are unique to every tool, every knife in this collection is individually photographed. The specific masterpiece you select from our gallery is the exact one we will ship from our local stock. We also provide free same-day blade engraving, handled in-house at our Jacksonville warehouse, to ensure your order is personalized and shipped without delay.
