A handmade, stainless steel, wine key or waiter’s friend with three functions; a pocket knife, a corkscrew and a bottle opener. The blades are held in position with a strong back spring but are non-locking. Complete with a finished boxwood handle, detailed with wood burned designs unique to the Nontron identity. The blade of the knife measures 7.6cm and measures 10cm when closed. Coutellerie Nontronnaise, or Nontron, bears the name of the village it was founded in the 13th century. Since before the Middle Ages, Gallic people who settled near the waters of the Bandiat River began making the first true French knives. In 1653, Guillaume Legrand, a master cutler, invented the turning ferrule, an innovation that Nontron have continued to use over the centuries. Each piece of cutlery is made by craftsmen trained on the techniques of sawing, shaping, and assembling used by their ancestral forebears making true, heritage pieces that have been cherished for centuries.
