Fontenille Pataud Steak Knives
Table Specialties
WE ARE TRUSTED BY SOME OF THE WORLD'S BEST CORPORATIONS Offer your employees, customers or business partners a memorable and useful gift.
Named after the village of Yssingeaux (translation from local dialect = five cockerels), this knife honors the Gallic Rooster, the unofficial national bird of France. With his rooster crest look-back mechanism and Teflon washers, this charismatic knife's blade action operates smoothly and safely during opening and closing.
This knife was handmade in Europe's capital of cutlery, "Thiers." The "Gilles®" Fontenille Pataud collection of knives are considered by many to be some of the best French pocket knives money can buy. All Knives offered by Gilles are entirely made by a single craftsman, ensuring pride of ownership of the final piece.
Technical aspects: Smooth, easy opening & closing are provided by a Teflon-assisted lock back system. This knife also features a solid hardened blade stop to help prevent the blade's edge from contacting the inner area of the spring. 100% Made in France
Shopping for a unique pocket knife not only holds the promise of ownership but the excitement of finally beholding an item admired through a screen. However, all too often, what was envisioned and what is unboxed bear a startling, sometimes painful discrepancy.
You will receive the actual folding knife shown in the photos.
No one wants to view photos of a beautiful and unique knife and receive something not even close to the representative image; this is why we take pictures of each piece. Select your One-Of-A-Kind knife!
