The London 11 cm Folding Knife by Fontenille Pataud is the true, full-sized tribute to nautical heritage. Measuring an impressive 22 cm (8.66") when fully opened, this extended version closely mirrors the historical proportions of the classic English sailor's knife. Traditionally, this was the absolute tool of choice for mariners, relied upon daily for slicing through heavy ropes, rigging, and canvas.

Weighing approximately 119 grams (4.2 ounces) and featuring a substantial 11 cm (4.33 inches) handle, this knife is designed for serious heavy-duty use. The unique non-pointed "sheepfoot" blade helps prevent accidental puncture injuries, making it ideal for use on a heaving deck. Its flat, cleaver-like edge allows for maximum downward pressure, resulting in clean cuts.

Combining beauty with functionality, the knife includes a sturdy blade stop. In a nod to its maritime heritage, it features a distinctive "Anchor Lock-Back" mechanism—simply lift the anchor and gently press the blade to close it safely.

Because these rugged tools are hand-assembled from unique natural materials—ranging from striking Hybrid Juniper Burl to authentic Ram Horn and Cattle Bone—each knife doubles as a one-of-a-kind collector's piece.
