Fontenille Pataud Le LOMBARD thuya burlwood stainless fafnir damascus

Le Lombard – A Knife of Tradition and Elegance

The Le Lombard draws inspiration from traditional French knife shapes such as the Yssingeaux or Sauveterre. Yet this first design by Adrien Giovaninetti, created in 2016, possesses a distinctive and unique character of its own.

After deciding to step away from knifemaking and devote himself entirely to composing his oratorio, production of the Le Lombard was entrusted to the renowned cutlery workshop Fontenille Pataud.

Each knife is meticulously handcrafted. Slim and refined, the Le Lombard sits comfortably and securely in the hand.
