Handcrafted in Thiers-France, this knife was approved by the “Coute de Tie,” the Guild which certifies the authenticity of the design. The name Le Thiers Nature by Fontenille Pataud is a tribute to the city of Thiers. Like Solingen in Germany or Sheffield in England, Thiers has, for several centuries, been the hub of the French knives and cutlery industry. Le Thiers Nature by Fontenille Pataud offers a good balance between the blade and the handle thanks to its special forged spring. A groove into the back of the spring allows the blade to fold in.

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.
