Briar burl and a pump mechanism — the signature combination of Le Thiers, the iconic knife shape born in the workshops of Thiers.
This example by Dugourd features a stunning briar burl handle — the same material used in the finest smoking pipes, prized for its extraordinary grain patterns and natural warmth. The pump mechanism, operated with a single fluid motion, is a feat of French mechanical ingenuity that sets this knife apart from every standard folder.
