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.
