Handle scales made of French pistachio wood. The attractive chestnut brown colour usually shows decorative darker streaks.
This knife shape closely follows the "PiƩmontais" model, which has been popular in France for centuries. The blade forged of Sandvik 19C27* steel has been hardened in liquid nitrogen (cryogenic treatment), which makes it extremely durable and easy to sharpen. A smooth liner-lock mechanism makes sure the blade is securely locked. The handle back has an open design and thus accentuates the puristic design. The rounded shape of the handle lends the knife a very comfortable touch. Comes with a pouch made of ecologically tanned cowhide. Hardness 57 HRC, rustproof.

Atelier Perceval
The company Atelier Perceval, which is based in the French knife capital Le Thiers, was founded in 1995. The factory's trademark is the select and often very extraordinary choice of materials used for the handle with high-quality finish for which the manufacturer offers a lifelong warranty. The knives are precisely made by hand and with no frills, lending them a timeless elegant look. The finely polished handle scales are mounted to stainless steel plates and fixed with three screws.
