This elegantly designed pen knife combines compactness with a precision lock-back mechanism, ensuring a secure blade lock. With its small size, the Laguiole XS 9 cm (3.5 inches when closed) is perfect for a gentleman's suit pocket or a lady's handbag. The bee and spring of this knife are fabricated from a single piece of stainless steel, showcasing intricate craftsmanship. Along with the spring file work, the liners, and blade's top are also exquisitely chiseled.

Guilloche:The Guilloché series beautifully displays intricate chiseling techniques expertly applied to the spring, both liners (top and bottom) and the entire blade's top edge. The outcome is nothing short of a mesmerizingly crafted masterpiece.

The "Gilles" Fontenille Pataud knife collection is widely regarded as some of the finest French pocket knives available, leaving no doubt about their quality. Every knife is proudly 100% Made in France.

Technical aspects:The Teflon-assisted lockback system ensures smooth and effortless opening and closing. Additionally, the knife boasts a sturdy, hardened blade stop to prevent the blade's edge from touching the spring's inner area. These meticulous details, combined with unparalleled craftsmanship and attention to precision, make each knife genuinely unique. Fontenille Pataud knives are proudly made in France with utmost quality and dedication.
