Secured Laguiole Knives by Fontenille Pataud: Innovation Meets Tradition

Discover our range of secured Laguiole knives, where timeless elegance meets modern precision mechanism. At Fontenille Pataud, we have reinterpreted the mythical Laguiole knife to offer you a product you can use with complete peace of mind, without ever compromising its traditional aesthetic or its artisanal quality.


The Laguiole with Blade Lock: Safety and Smooth Action

We have preserved the authentic design, the iconic forged bee, and the traditional backspring of the Laguiole knife, while integrating an innovative safety system:

  • Secure Blade Locking: A precision mechanism allows the blade to lock perfectly in the open position. This safety feature is crucial because it ensures the blade cannot fold back onto your fingers during use.

  • Smooth Opening and Closing: Thanks to our optimized mechanism, opening and closing the blade are extremely smooth and fluid. This suppleness even makes the traditional nail nick unnecessary on our blades, greatly improving handling.

  • Easy Release: To fold the blade back, a simple, light press on the rear of the backspring is enough to release it, ensuring quick and easy manipulation.

The Key Advantage: Protecting the Cutting Edge

Fontenille Pataud's innovation is also demonstrated through a crucial technical detail for the longevity of your high-end knife:

  • Fixed Stop Pin for Wear Protection: An essential feature is our solid fixed stop pin that protects the cutting edge. This stop allows you to "clap" the blade shut (close it quickly) without ever damaging the edge, thus ensuring lasting sharpness.

Whether you are looking for the perfect blend of security and tradition for daily use, or you prefer the authenticity of Traditional Laguiole Knives without a lock but with high-end manufacturing, Fontenille Pataud is your benchmark. Explore our models and choose the Laguiole knife that combines French heritage with modern reliability.

In fact, while preserving the traditional lines and bee motif of the Laguiole knife, a precision mechanism allows for secure locking when the blade is open. The opening process is incredibly smooth. Key feature: A robust fixed stopper allows the blade to be closed without damaging its sharp edge.

The blade locking mechanism featured in our range of Laguiole knives provides you with a smooth blade opening and closing, which is why our blades no longer require tabs. To fold the blade of your Laguiole knife, a simple press on the back of the spring releases it. Our Laguiole range ensures a serene usage as the blade cannot accidentally fold onto your fingers. Additionally, explore our collection of traditional, high-quality Laguiole knives without the safety feature.
