Laguiole Le Pocket Classic Royal Ebony Handle

The Laguiole Le Pocket by Gilles® Fontenille Pataud is engineered for those who seek a compact, discreet folder that retains the robust strength of a full-sized knife. This model features a precise lock-back mechanism for secure blade locking during use and specialized Teflon washers to ensure smooth, safe opening and closing.

Handcrafted in Thiers—the historic heart of French cutlery—each knife is meticulously created from start to finish by a single master artisan. This ensures unparalleled quality and a unique sense of pride in ownership. Proudly 100% Made in France.

Handle Character: This model features scales of genuine Royal Ebony (Ébène Royal). Highly prized for its dramatic aesthetic, Royal Ebony often displays a striking contrast of deep obsidian black marbled with irregular, light-colored veins. Known for its extreme density and glass-like finish when polished, it offers a sophisticated, substantial feel in the hand. The knife pictured is the exact one you will receive.

The Forged Bee: A hallmark of elite craftsmanship, the "Bee" and spring are forged from a single solid piece of stainless steel. This method provides superior structural integrity and a seamless aesthetic compared to common soldered alternatives. Additionally, a solid, hardened blade stop is built into the mechanism to preserve the edge's sharpness by preventing contact with the inner spring.
