The Laguiole Sport Classic by Gilles® Fontenille Pataud is the robust, full-scale evolution of our Laguiole Gentleman series. Designed for hunters and outdoorsmen who require a heavy-duty tool, this impressive knife offers a larger, more substantial grip for tackling the most demanding tasks. With a 13 cm (5.12-inch) handle, this is one of the largest Laguiole folders available—please consider its significant size carefully before making your purchase.

Beyond its scale, the Sport Classic is a masterclass in technical refinement. It features a precision lock-back mechanism and Teflon washers, ensuring the large blade operates with a silky-smooth and safe action. Each piece is distinguished by a fully hand-chiseled forged bee and spring, handcrafted in Thiers, France. To preserve the integrity of the edge, a built-in blade stop mechanism prevents the steel from ever contacting the inner spring during closing.

Because the character of natural wood and horn varies dramatically, every knife in this collection is individually photographed. The specific "Sport" masterpiece you select is the exact one we will ship. We also provide free same-day blade engraving, handled in-house at our Jacksonville warehouse, to ensure your order is personalized and shipped without delay.
