Fontenille Pataud 5 Coqs: features
Blade made from 14C28N steel
Naturally, the knives in the 5 Coqs series share the craftsmanship and use of natural materials with Fontenille Pataud's other pocket knives. In this case, a slightly harder steel with a hardness of 58-59 HRC was chosen for the blade. This 14C28N steel is slightly matted, as is the steel bolster. Crafted by skilled artisans, each knife combines premium materials such as stainless steel, noble woods, horn and bone for handles that embody both durability and aesthetic allure.
Fontenille Pataud 5 Coqs: recognizable design
The iconic Laguiole design features are an homage to the rich history of French knife making. Each detail is finished with care, from sharpening the blade to polishing the handle. As a result, each Fontenille Pataud knife is a work of art.
Fontenille Pataud: Laguiole construction
The classic Fontenille Pataud knives are characterized by the typical Laguiole construction. This means that the blade has no full lock, but works with a slipjoint mechanism. This makes the action of opening and closing the knife a bit heavier than on models with a backlock, for example. The slipjoint mechanism does provide enough friction to prevent the knife from snapping shut unexpectedly during use.
