The Laguiole Gentleman’s Knife is a compact but powerful tool, perfect for any avid outdoorsman. With its shorter blade and longer handle, this “stubby” knife offers the convenience of portability without compromising on functionality. Truly an elegant addition to anyone’s pocket-sized arsenal!
This hand-made pocket knife incorporates a precision lock-back mechanism. A Teflon washer ensures that the 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 pocket knives money can buy. All Knives offered by Gilles are entirely made by a single craftsman from start to finish ensuring pride of ownership of the final piece., 100% Made in France.
Technical aspects: This 10.5 cm handle knife features a forged bee and a full-length hand-chiseled spring. This knife also features a solid hardened blade stop to help prevent the blade’s edge from making contact with the inner area of the spring.
Handle Material
Genuine warthog ivory (Eastern Africa). Warthog ivory is taken from the constantly growing canine teeth. Due to the uneven characteristic of Ram Horn, the metal rivets found on the handle may not be completely flush with this unique handle material.
Note: While obtaining any permit or documentation to sell warthog tusk within the United States is unnecessary, we cannot ship this type of handle material outside of the country. Unfortunately, international orders will be refunded without prior notification.
