Fontenille Pataud Laguiole AIGUILLES (Needles) buffalo horn 12 cm

Exception - Unique piece

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 12 cm long handle was made from fossilised crust of mammoth ivory. The material comes from the Siberian permafrost. The shepherd's cross is omitted due to the filigree material. The bolsters are handmade from Mokumé Game. 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 Rose Damascus is certainly an eye-catcher. The Damascus has 120 layers and an HRC of 56-58, and the blade is very fine ground. The finish of this unique piece is polished.

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