This handsome pocket knife is a true staple piece, great for hiking, traveling and daily use. The concealable stainless steel blades folds seamlessly into a finely tapered wooden handle. Highly ergonomic, this sleek design prevents hand slippage and provides a safe resting area for the blade's tip. This item was handmade in the village of Nontron, a region of France where it is believed knife making began in the 13th Century. The wood-burned patterns on the handle make the knife an especially beautiful and unique utility tool.
