Description

This Capucin knife is a genuine living antique, bearing witness to a centuries-old tradition.
The XC75 carbon steel blade, measuring 10 cm long and 2.2 cm wide, is renowned for its precise cutting edge and sturdiness, ideal for lovers of traditional cutlery.

The handle, in black horn and adorned with a head hand-carved in warthog ivory, evokes a monk's hood, from which this knife takes its name.
This distinctive shape also recalls Roman times, when similar knives were already in use. The Capucin, also known as the "two-nail knife", is a simple, ingenious design: one nail or pin rotates the blade, while a second nail holds it in the open position.

Manufactured by a company founded in 1835, it embodies the traditional know-how and excellence of French cutlery.
This Capucin is a collector's item for lovers of exceptional objects and a reliable companion for everyday tasks.
