PERCEVAL Le Francais white ebony
Gentelman pocket knife with fine linerlock - white ebony was used for the handle scales. This extremely rare and expensive ebony, like Makassar ebony, is one of the coloured ebony woods. However, its basic tone is clearly lighter and its grain is stronger. The pictures show an example model, each knife is unique.
The flagship of the PERCEVAL folding knife series is Le Français. It is the pocket version that inspired the forge to create the no less iconic 9.47 table knife.
Handmade in France in Thiers, the capital of French cutlery, the Le Francais offers a clean design that is unmistakable among 1000 other knives. Known for its impeccable sharpness thanks to its high-performance 19C27 Sandvik stainless steel, the Français will be your daily companion.
All handles are hand-sculpted by expert knifemakers, giving each knife a unique character. PERCEVAL emphasise handcrafted manufacturing to preserve the authenticity of French knifemaking expertise.
