Charles Canon La MOULE mussel shell stabilized
The model of La MOULE is the precisely crafted Le TERRIL, which is a homage to northern French mining. It was designed by Pascal Charles and Aurélien Canon. The family history of the two developers is rich in mining history with a father or a grandfather, the small mine 9 north in Harnes and the mine 6 to Hénin-Liétard of one and the other of the coal dealers in Lallaing.
The trapezoidal shape of the knife is reminiscent of a "pile" of French Terril, an artificial hill, which is caused by mining residues.
The handle scales consist of mussel shells. In a special process, the small pieces are stabilized with resin resin. The handle material, which is very pleasant to the touch, is then polished so that a slightly matt, finely structured surface is created. The resort is kept simply smooth. La MOULE has a very pleasant, not too tight blade path and lies well in the hand. The blade is made of easy-to-cut 12C27 Sandvik steel. This stainless steel is considered to be very cut and easy to sharpen. The blade has a matte finish.
The scope of delivery includes a wooden storage box, which is also manufactured by DUTILLEUL INDUSTRIES.

The story of the "Le terril" knife began with a carpenter's workshop that makes presentation boxes for top-of-the-range knives, and the region's mining history. The company's directors, who created this knife, wanted to create a knife that recalls :
1. the shape of the slag heap by the general profile of the blade and the handle (trapezium shape)
2. the constitution of the slag heap by the incrustation of finely ground coal grains in the resin constituting the shaft.
This folding pocket knife is presented in a solid oak box. The bottom of the box can be used as a display stand, with a piece of charcoal reminiscent of the handle material, and the history of the knife engraved on it.
The family history of the knife's creators is rich in mining stories, with a father and grandfather respectively mining pit 9 north in Harnes and pit 6 bis in Hénin-Liétard for one of the creators, and coal merchants in Lallaing for the other.
