The Le Thiers® Liner Lock Knife: Where Tradition Meets Modernity

The Le Thiers® folding knife is the ambassador of French cutlery, a symbol of excellence born in the heart of Thiers, the historical capital of the blade. To understand the importance of the Liner Lock version, one must look back at the very genesis of this unique model.

The Genesis: The Will to Create an Emblematic Knife

The story of the Le Thiers® knife is distinctive: it is the result of a collective and voluntary initiative by the artisan cutlers of Thiers in the 1990s. Their goal was not to copy an old model, but to design an emblematic folding knife for the 21st century that would proudly bear the name of their town and guarantee 100% local and artisanal manufacturing.

The Confrérie du Couteau de Thiers (Brotherhood of the Thiers Knife) was created to define the shape (its distinctive, simple, and elegant double curve) and, crucially, to establish the famous Jurande (oath of quality). This professional pledge guarantees that any knife marked Le Thiers® adheres to an extremely rigorous set of specifications and is entirely manufactured in the Thiers basin. The Liner Lock model perfectly illustrates this commitment to combining the heritage of a thousand-year-old tradition with a constant pursuit of technical innovation.

Liner Lock: Security and Fluidity of Use

The liner lock blade-locking system is a modern technology that ensures optimal safety when using your knife. This mechanism allows for easy one-handed opening and closing, while guaranteeing that the blade remains firmly in place when deployed. This system, highly favored by contemporary users, integrates seamlessly with the clean lines of the Le Thiers® design. Discover the magnificent Liner Lock Knife 100% made in France, a perfect choice for an EDC (Every Day Carry) knife.

Other Traditional Locking Systems

The expertise of the Thiers cutlers makes it possible to offer the Le Thiers® model with other locking systems adapted to your preferences:

  • Back lock mechanism (Pompe arrière): A robust mechanism located at the back of the handle, valued for its solidity and ease of use, closer to the tradition of regional knives.

  • Center lock mechanism (Pompe centrale): A proven system that allows for reliable locking of the blade in the open position.

Choose the mechanism that best suits your needs and benefit from the artisanal expertise of Fontenille Pataud (or other cutlers approved by the Brotherhood) for Le Thiers® knives that combine performance, safety, and elegance.
