Before the 19th-century emergence of the Laguiole knife, French shepherds relied on a versatile tool known as the "Capuchadou" or "capujadou." This all-purpose knife served various functions, including meal preparation and everyday tasks. The addition of the four-leaf clover symbolized good fortune.

Consider this: This knife was handmade in Europe's capital of cutlery, "Thiers." The Gilles® Fontenille Pataud collections of knives are considered by many to be some of the best pocket knives money can buy. All Knives offered by Gilles are made entirely by a single craftsman, ensuring pride of ownership of the final piece. 100% Made in France

Technical aspects: The spring, crafted from 3 mm thick Z20c13 stainless steel, incorporates a blade-stop to preserve the blade's sharpness. The hand-chased "Shamrock" and handle top, created with a file, signify exceptional artisan quality - starkly contrasting to mass-produced knives with welded springs and machine decorations. These intricate file work details render each knife uniquely one-of-a-kind.
