About Fontenille Pataud
Fontenille is a renowned brand specializing in the production of Laguiole and French knives, offering an impressive range of high-quality products and accessories. With a rich history dating back to the 1920s when Jeanne Fontenille Pataud took over the cutlery business, Fontenille has maintained a strong commitment to French cutlery tradition and continuous technical innovation. The brand takes pride in its collection knives, crafted with Damascus steel blades, mammoth ivory handles, solid silver bolsters, and regional knives such as Corsican knives made in collaboration with the esteemed ZURIA house in Bonifacio.
Laguiole and Thiers knives with blade locking and easy opening mechanisms showcase the brand's dedication to functionality and design. Fontenille's production is focused on quality rather than quantity, and their team of skilled craftsmen ensures that each knife is created with meticulous attention to detail. With over 20 years of experience participating in European trade shows and global exports, Fontenille has gained recognition and trust from customers worldwide.
The brand's logo, a compass, has been the company's emblem since its registration in 1918. Fontenille's commitment to artisanal quality and manufacturing in France is evident through their Gilles® trademark, representing true handcrafted knives made in their workshop. Fontenille's legacy is rooted in the strong leadership of Yann Delarboulas, whose family has been in the cutlery industry for generations, and Cécile Dissay, with extensive experience in luxury leather goods.
Together, they continue to write Fontenille's history while maintaining the highest standards of craftsmanship and innovation. At Fontenille, customers can explore an extensive range of Laguiole, Le Thiers®, Corsican, Capuchadou®, and traditional knives, as well as a variety of accessories, steak knives, and tableware. The brand's unwavering commitment to quality and excellence is evident in their products, making Fontenille a trusted choice for knife enthusiasts and collectors worldwide
