A history rich in tradition and innovation :
Founded in 1929 in Thiers, the knife capital of the world, Fontenille Pataud perpetuates the heritage of French cutlery while integrating modern techniques to meet the expectations of today’s knife lovers and collectors. Each knife is the fruit of meticulous, hand-crafted work by experienced artisans who put their passion and know-how at the service of excellence.

Unique know-how :
Our knives are made using traditional methods handed down from generation to generation. From the rigorous selection of materials to the final sharpening, every step of the manufacturing process reflects our quest for perfection. A visit to our workshop will take you behind the scenes of this art and the importance attached to every detail, from the precision of a mechanism to the finish of a precious wooden handle.

A prestigious range of knives :
Fontenille Pataud offers a varied collection of top-of-the-range knives, suitable for all uses and desires. From emblematic folding knives such as the famous Laguiole or Le Thiers®, to customized models, each piece embodies the elegance, durability and uniqueness for which we are renowned.

A workshop and store in harmony :
Our factory outlet, integrated into our workshop, offers you the opportunity to leave with an exceptional piece, made on site. It’s also a place where we can share with you our love of exceptional knives and our attachment to French know-how.
Fontenille Pataud is much more than a workshop : it’s a living place where tradition and innovation meet to promote French craftsmanship.
