Dorry knife, ram's horn

The Dorry takes its name from the dories, the light boats that cod fishermen launched from the big sailing ships off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. This folding knife, designed in 2008 by T. Kayo, carries that maritime reference in its outline: a brushed steel blade whose tip is cut down at an angle.

The ram's horn handle is what gives the Dorry its own character. The material, naturally veined and slightly translucent depending on the light, is never the same from one knife to the next. It sits firmly and comfortably in the hand, and its warm tone contrasts with the plainness of the brushed blade.

Made in Thiers using the traditional methods of Auvergne cutlery, each knife is screw-assembled and fitted with a sanded slipjoint for a reliable closing action. An individual number, the designer's signature and the Dorry logo appear on each piece - marks that make the Dorry an identifiable, traceable object, far from the anonymity of mass production.
