Le Glenn

Le Glenn - maritime pocket knife from Brittany

Ker Glenn, which can be translated into Breton as the House of Glenn, is a company with a mission that has its roots in the traditions and history of Brittany.

On the one hand, the history of the generations of sailors born in Brittany should live on;
On the other hand, to contribute to the protection of our seas and oceans and to support seafarers.

One of the activities is the collection, treatment and recycling of marine litter from the maritime sector. By choosing to recycle fishing nets to make its handles, the Glenn has become a symbol for all those who want to protect the sea.
