Atelier Perceval - Le Francais Damascus Ebony

The classic from France made by hand
Extremely thin ground
handle made from Amourette and blade is made from 14C28N

Besides the ever-popular Laguiole knife, Le Thiers is the second well-known knife design from France, although this design is much younger.

Thiers could basically be compared to the old Solingen in Germany. Nowhere in France are so many small and large blacksmiths as well as knifemakers located as in the tranquil town in the Auvergne. Of the nearly 12,000 inhabitants, no less than 5,000 people work for the 300 or so knife manufacturers in the region. To honor this tradition, the Le-Thier knife shape was invented, which may only be produced by the manufacturers of this town and is interpreted a little differently by each.

On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the company in 2015, Perceval also has its own version of this modern classic in its program.

In direct comparison to the L08 or the Le Francais, it is noticeable that the Le Thiers is a little larger, curvier and more elegant. The liner lock closes the knife very cleanly and can be unlocked easily with one hand. Really great is the guilloche on the back of the knife, which we already know from the classic Laguiole knives. These here very modern executed decorations reinterpret the classic file work and still give the knife a traditional touch. The handle wood in this variant is made of Amourette - a wood that radiates an incredible warmth and is also very robust.

For the blade, Perceval use the Swedish 14C28N steel from Sandvik. Deep cryo treatment hardens the structure to about 59 HRC, and its high resistance to rust makes it well suited for use with food. As with all Perceval knives, the grinding is done on very slowly rotating grinding stones, which prevents the steel from overheating. The honing of the cutting bevel is traditionally done on roughened buffalo hide.

So if you are looking for a more modern interpretation of this French knife classic, we highly recommend the Perceval Le Thiers.

Warning / Safety Notice:

Risk of cuts: The most common hazard when using knives is the risk of cuts. Sharp blades can easily penetrate skin and tissue.

Blade slippage: Improper handling or applying excessive force may cause the knife to slip, leading to uncontrolled movements and potential injury.

Injuries from falling knives: Knives should never be left unsecured or placed near the edge of tables or work surfaces, as they may fall and cause injury.

Dull blades: Dull knives pose a higher risk of injury, as they require more force and are more likely to slip. Knives should therefore be sharpened regularly and properly.

Improper use: Using a knife for purposes other than its intended use (e.g. as a prying tool) can damage the blade and may result in accidents.

Perceval L08 Ebony

Handle Material: Ebony

Perceval L08 Ebony Ebony each handle an absolute unicum leather sheath included Perceval L08 - The modern classicWith the L08, Perceval have managed to establish something like a modern classic in French knife culture. 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 coherent-looking knife, which also lies wonderfully in the hand. The Sheepfoot blade, which is rounded towards the tip, allows for safe work and proves to be extremely cutting-friendly.This is due on the one hand to the flat ground up to the back of the blade and on the other hand to the extremely thin cutting bevel. Perceval sharpen their knives all by hand on slowly rotating grinding stones. The final honing is also done - quite traditionally - on a strap made of buffalo leather. An absolute highlight is the extremely satisfying sound when the liner lock engages. Here you simply notice how precisely these knives are made. Since a pocket clip was the great line disturb, a Stecketui leather is included. So you can carry your L08 comfortably without scratching the handle scales. Ebony THE classic! Ebony has an incredibly high density and has been used for decades in instrument making for fingerboards. Due to the very fine pores, the wood is relatively insensitive.
