Fontenille Pataud Laguiole NATURE Exception blue mammoth ivory damascus blade 12 cm

Fontenille Pataud, a high-end manufacturer of fine cutlery since 1929, is based in Thiers, France. All work steps are carried out by hand by one cutler.

The Laguiole NATURE knife combines the best of old and new. The traditional elegance of a Laguiole knife has been updated with a smooth-running blade locking system. It is easy to use, beautiful to look at and superior in performance. The backlock at the end of the handle allows the knife to be closed gently.

The 12 cm long handle was made from fossilised blue mammoth ivory. This special colour is very rare and expensive. The material comes from the Siberian permafrost. The shepherd's cross is omitted due to the filigree material. The bee and back spring are forged from one piece. The back spring is decorated with a particularly fine engraving by hand. The bee is just as beautifully crafted.

In addition to the elegant handle scales, the extremely sharp blade made from stainless Vinland Damascus is certainly an eye-catcher. The Damascus has 160 layers and an HRC of 60, and the blade is very fine ground. The finish of this unique piece is shiny polished.

The item comes with a handmade leather sheath and a numbered manufactory certificate.

Laguiole Gürteletui TRADITION von MAX CAPDEBARTHES Tradition 12 cm blau
MAX CAPDEBARTHES Laguiole leather sheath TRADITION 10 to 13 cm knives
Max Capdebarthes is a master leather craftsman located in the tiny (pop. 800) 12th-century village of Sauveterre de Rouergue in the south west of France. Each sheath is made from carefully selected genuine cowhide. Mr. Max Capdebarthes is considered by most knife manufacturers as the best leather craftsman in Europe, perhaps the world. About this sheath:  This full grain leather sheath comes in 4 sizes to accommodate most Laguiole knives. It features a metal snap closure and dual vertical & horizontal belt loop.   Double stitching can be found on all stress areas to provide years of use without stitch failure. This sheath is made of 1/8 inch thick ultra soft cowhide full-grain leather. The leather sheath are available in the colours black, maya, and choco. This sheath is for:  - 9/10cm will accommodate 9 & 10 cm - 11 cm will accommodate 11 cm knives - 12 cm will accommodate 12 cm - 13 cm will accommodate 13 cm   Consider this:  Max Capdebarthes only works with full grain leather which is the highest quality grade of leather money can buy. This leather type comes from the top layer of the hide and includes all of the natural grain and natural marks. It is more expensive to buy and more difficult for to work with, as a result this is reflected in the cost to the consumer. Break-In period:  Your new sheath may appear to be a little stiff at first, this is normal. As full grain leather ages it will adapt to the shape of your knife. Over time, the sheath will develop a much sought-after patina and a unique character that cannot be duplicated. The more you use it, the better it will look and feel.100% made in France
