Perceval L08 Curly Birch - The modern Classic
- Birch wood handle
- inclusive leather sheath
Perceval have managed to establish something like a modern classic in the French knife culture with the L08.
With the wonderfully rounded curve of the handle, the L08 is slightly reminiscent of the rear of an old Cadillac - here the manufacturer has managed to combine the time-honored tradition of knife making in France with the modern design of the 20th century.
The result is a wonderfully harmonious looking knife, which also fits wonderfully in the hand.
The sheepfoot blade, which tapers round to the tip, allows safe working and proves to be extremely easy to cut.
This is partly due to the flat grinding, which is raised to the back of the blade, and partly due to the extremely thin cutting bevel. Perceval sharpen their knives all by hand on slowly rotating grinding stones. The final sharpening is also done - very traditionally - on a belt of roughened buffalo leather.
An absolute highlight is the extremely satisfying noise when the liner lock is engaged. Here you simply notice how precisely these knives are manufactured.
Since a pocket clip would disturb the great line, a leather liner lock is included. So you can take your L08 with you comfortably without scratching the handles.
Curly birch, comes from Norway. The light wood has a beautiful natural grain.
