Charles Canon
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.
