Cognet CAPUCIN Sculpture

The CAPUCIN impresses with its modern and elegant lines. For many centuries it was one of the most widespread folding knives in southern France.

The shape of its handle is reminiscent of a monk with his characteristic monk's hood, hence the name CAPUCIN. The solid handle fits comfortably in the hand.
