The Pradel Folding Knife by Fontenille Pataud is a sophisticated revival of a classic French regional pattern, known for its clean lines and utilitarian elegance. This specific model is elevated by a handle crafted from Cattle Bone, a traditional material favored for its remarkable durability and smooth, porcelain-like finish. Over time and with use, the bone will develop a gentle, creamy patina, making each knife a truly personal heirloom.
Because natural Cattle Bone possesses unique surface textures and subtle color variations, we ensure a transparent purchasing experience. The photographs provided are of the specific knife currently in stock; the instrument you see in these images is the exact one that will be shipped to you.
Unlike traditional friction folders, this Pradel features a robust lock-back mechanism, providing enhanced safety and stability for demanding tasks. The blade is forged from high-performance stainless steel, polished to a mirror finish, and paired with solid stainless steel bolsters. Handcrafted in Thiers, France, by the master artisans at Fontenille Pataud, this knife represents a perfect marriage of 19th-century design and modern mechanical precision.
