The Fontenille Pataud London Folding Knife is an exquisite piece of French craftsmanship from Thiers, renowned for its centuries-old cutlery tradition. This modern iteration pays homage to the classic “London Sailor’s Knife” from the 19th century, reimagined for contemporary use with portability in mind — effortlessly fitting into a pocket or purse.
The knife boasts a meticulously hand-chiseled spring and a sturdy blade stop alongside a practical lanyard hole, retaining the essence of the original design. The addition of an “Anchor Lock-Back” pays homage to sailors.
To unlock the open blade, pull up on the anchor and gently press on the blade to close it.
Drawing from its nautical heritage, the extended version of the knife, measuring 22 cm (8.66″) when opened, was historically the sailor’s tool for slicing through ropes. The blade’s distinctive non-pointed shape was purposefully designed to prevent accidental injuries aboard a ship’s heaving deck, while its flat, cleaver-like form ensured precise, clean cuts.
With its 11 cm handle (4.33″) and ~ 119 grams / 4.2 oz in weight, this version of the London folding Knife may feel a little heavy in a pocket. Whether for practical use or as a collector’s item, this folding knife stands out as a testament to timeless design and enduring function.
