Le Thiers® knife

Thiers, the French capital of cutlery, has been making knives for more than 6 centuries and owns its emblematic knife : Le Thiers®.

The Thiers® knife makers have always made French regional knives, they now have their own knife : Le Thiers® knife. In 1993, the brotherhood of the Le Thiers® knife was born and in 1994, Le Thiers® knife is introduced.

We participate in this collective history of a whole profession by providing you with different models of Le Thiers ® knives. These different models all offer a blade locking system to bring you comfort and safety when using your knife: liner-lock or back-lock, it is up to you to choose your mechanism.

As for all our models, we have worked on a precision mechanism to obtain a good handle/blade balance. A groove is milled in the back of the spring, allowing the blade to be folded inside. The edge is thus preserved by the solid fixed blade stop. The flexibility of the Thiers® Nature by Fontenille Pataud mechanism makes it easy to open and close the knife.
