Did you know that sailors can only carry round-ended knives on board 18th century ships? Since fights were too common in these confined spaces, the sailors had to break the tip of the blade of their knife, giving this rounded side. Only these knives were allowed to avoid any risk of injury in case of a brawl.
Our pocket knife pays tribute to the London shape thanks to its round end-of-blade configuration, also known as the “Wide Chin Stylus”. The blade in sheep’s foot widens towards the tip, then folds forward to give a straight edge!
It is therefore a very authentic folding knife that we propose, imprinted with history by its blade. Its handle is made of steel, carbon or teck to enhance its original design and bring character.
For steel or teck models, a cord can be hung at the end of the handle. Convenient to hang the knife and keep it handy! This discreet tool can also easily fit into a bag or jeans pocket, or hang on a shirt pocket with its pin.
Do not hesitate to consult our range of pocket knives to complete your purchase. This 100% made in France product was implemented in the workshops of the Claude Dozorme cutlery, handcrafted and in the purest cutlery tradition.
