Corsican L' Antò Sculpted Handle Knife - Cattle Bone

Rated 5.0 out of 5
Based on 1 review

The Corsican L' Antò Sculpted Handle by Gilles® Fontenille Pataud is a soulful homage to the traditional knives of the Isle of Beauty. Designed in collaboration with Corsican blacksmith Antoine Zuria, this model blends Mediterranean heritage with modern precision engineering. Handcrafted in Thiers—the historic heart of French cutlery—each knife is meticulously created from start to finish by a single master artisan. Proudly 100% Made in France.

Handle Character: This model features genuine Cattle Bone scales. Prized for its smooth, ivory-like finish and cool tactile feel, polished bone offers a timeless, sophisticated aesthetic. The sculpted handle adds an ergonomic depth that highlights the natural beauty of the material. The knife pictured is the exact one you will receive.

Lock-Top Mechanism: The Lock-Top system is designed for both security and comfort. The mechanism is slightly curved to feel ergonomic under the thumb, while the intricate file work on each side provides a confident, tactile grip. To unlock the blade, we recommend simply sliding your thumbnail under the gap for the most efficient and safe operation. Inside the handle, Teflon washers ensure a silky-smooth deployment, while a hardened blade stop protects the edge from ever touching the internal spring.

Hand-Chiseled Artistry: A hallmark of the Gilles® collection, each knife features a hand-filed spring top. This intricate decorative work is performed by a master cutler using traditional files, ensuring that no two knives are exactly alike. This elevated detail distinguishes the L' Antò as a professional-grade artifact rather than a mass-produced tool.

Authenticity & Warranty

• 100% Made in France: Handcrafted in Thiers by Fontenille Pataud.

• Lifetime Warranty: Guaranteed against manufacturer defects.

• U.S. Support: Warranty and repair coordination via Jacksonville, Florida.

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!

Things to Look For
The file work on the springs (top of handle) are individually hand filled by a French artisan, therefore all are different. Additionally, two handles made from the same material can have very different patterns.

You need to know

  1. If you do not checkout after adding this unique folding knife to your cart, someone else may purchase it.
  2. After purchasing this knife the unique photo(s) may be replaced within hours. Feel free to save the actual photos of your knife for personal use.

Cattle Bone (Bovine, France). Note that it is not unusual to find areas of different shades of beige or/and small streaks of darker colors within the bone. These features only contribute to the uniqueness of such material. 

Pocket knives are shipped same business day from Florida when ordered by 4 PM Eastern time. UPS delivery can be expected in 1 to 3 business days depending on destination. International shipping options are available at checkout.

Pocket Knife

Pocket Knives are designed for cutting only. Please do not use it as a screwdriver, crowbar, or wood chisel, as this can cause irreversible damage and void the warranty.

Corkscrews

Important Note on Use: Waiter-style corkscrews are designed for use with a secure grip on the bottle neck. Please do not use the tool by clamping the bottle between your knees and pulling the handle. This technique often applies excessive force, which is likely to bend the screw (worm) and will immediately void the product warranty.

To keep your pocket knife or corkscrew in top condition, follow these maintenance tips:

  1. Lubricate Moving Parts: Periodically apply a few drops of lubricant to all moving parts. This ensures smooth operation and extends the life of your knife.
  2. Hand Wash Only: Always hand-wash your pocket knife. After washing, dry it quickly with a soft towel to prevent rust and corrosion.
  3. Recommended Lubricant: We highly recommend using Sentry-Solutions Tuf Glide for all our folding knives. It provides excellent lubrication and protection.

Important Note: Tuf Glide is not considered a "food-safe" product. Avoid using it on knives that come into contact with food.

By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your item remains reliable and ready for your next adventure.

Friendly and reliable service

Laguiole Imports: I'm a returning customer from Germany. For me, it would be more economic to order directly from France. Nevertheless, I order from Laguiole Imports, because here I'm able to pick the actual knife that I'm going to receive. In knives with variable scales (talk stag) and variable filework, this is important to me.

Shipping is smooth, even for customers in Germany.

A nice experience with Laguiole Imports: Some time ago I needed a proof of purchase, for insurance purposes. Had colds it on and it had been lost in the mail. I contacted Laguiole Imports, they then promptly sent a copy of the old invoice they had on file.
