The Le Thiers Pocket Knife collection by Gilles® Fontenille Pataud is named after Thiers, the historic French capital of cutlery. Unlike the Laguiole, the "Le Thiers" name and its patented silhouette are strictly protected by the city and the French government under a rigorous charter (juranda). This ensures that every knife bearing this name adheres to strict specifications regarding quality, origin, and craftsmanship.
Handcrafted in Thiers, France, these knives are celebrated for their modern technical refinements. Every model in this series features an easy-opening locking blade system (lock-back), providing superior safety during use. The precision mechanism is engineered for effortless flexibility, while a solidly fixed blade stop prevents the cutting edge from ever contacting the inner spring, preserving the blade's sharpness over time.
Because the character of natural handle materials and the hand-chiseled file work on the springs are unique to each piece, every knife in this collection is individually photographed. The specific masterpiece you select is the exact tool we will ship from our inventory. We also provide free same-day engraving on the blade, handled in-house at our Jacksonville warehouse, to ensure your order is personalized and shipped without delay.
