Ex Tax: £50.83

A handmade, locking or rotating ferrule, stainless steel pocket knife with a with a traditional clog-shaped handle made from finished boxwood with wood burned details. The blade measures 8cm in length whilst the handle measures 10cm. Hand wash only. 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.


By purchasing this item you are confirming that you are over the age of 18, and that we may contact you prior to dispatch in order to verify this. Orders including any bladed items will incur an additional courier age verification charge and legally require delivery to persons aged 18 and over.

Care Advice

Hand wash and dry well with a soft cloth immediately after use. Ensure the knife is never left sitting in wet conditions. High quality stainless steel knives will often include a high-carbon element, to increase performance. These kind of stainless steels are not 100% rust proof, and will require careful handling. A sharp knife is a safe knife — use a honing rod to keep a fine edge, and sharpen with a stone when necessary. Treat the wooden handle with a mineral oil when necessary to condition the wood and prevent warping and cracking.
