Description
Fontenille Pataud elevates the Laguiole tradition with a T12 high-carbon stainless blade and hand-polished buffalo horn handle scales that shimmer between jet black and deep amber. The spring features intricate damascening by a master engraver, and the forged bee sits atop hand-filed guilloches. A museum-quality French folder built for everyday carry.
Luxury in the Palm
Unfold the blade and the damascened spring catches the light in intricate scrollwork that only a master engraver can pull off. The buffalo horn glows warm amber where your thumb presses—a living material that responds to your touch.
This is the Laguiole you bring to a dinner worth remembering.
The Art of Damascening
Fontenille Pataud's master engravers incise the spring with a burin, filling each groove with fine gold or silver wire—a centuries-old decorative art that transforms the knife's spine into a canvas.
Buffalo horn is selected for its depth of colour and polished by hand to a glass-like lustre, each scale unique in its pattern of dark and amber striations.
Looking After Your Blade
Keep your blade in top nick. Give it a rinse and dry after each use to stop corrosion. Every now and then, rub a thin coat of mineral oil along the blade. Sharpen with a whetstone or honing rod at a steady angle. Store it in a sheath, knife roll, or on a magnetic strip — never chucked loose in a drawer. For carbon and Damascus steel, give it a wipe after cutting acidic foods. For folding knives, clean out the pivot and pop a drop of lubricant in to keep it opening smoothly.
