Perceval French Folding Knife — Damascus Blade & Ironwood Handle | Ball Bearing | Thiers

Damascus steel and ironwood — two of the most exceptional materials in the world of fine folding knives, united in one extraordinary French piece.

The Perceval is one of the most respected contemporary knife makers in Thiers. This example features a stunning hand-forged Damascus blade — its flowing water pattern unique to this single piece — paired with a dense ironwood handle that glows with a deep, rich warmth. Ironwood is one of the hardest and most durable natural materials used in cutlery — heavier than most woods, virtually indestructible, and more beautiful with every passing year. The ball bearing mechanism delivers a perfectly smooth, precise opening action that collectors immediately recognize.
