"Le Capuchadou®-Guilloché" 10 cm handmade knife, buffalo bark horn - CAP10BBTG

Before the Laguiole knife was the Capuchadou

Before the development of the Laguiole knife in the 19th century, french shepherds carried a knife called the "Capuchadou" (or "capujadou"). This knife was used for all daily tasks, from preparing lunch to care of their flocks of sheep.

Fontenille Pataud, the makers of the finest cutlery are proud to reissue and interperet the ancestor of the Lagiole knife. Their excellence in manufacturing will ensure that this knife will prove to be the perfect gift or purchase for all connoisseurs and collectors.

In the Fontenille Pataud workshop, our craftsmen traditionally handmade outstanding knives for several generations, as usual in the city of Thiers. Each one of our knifemakers hopes to create especially for you a sustainable product that will become your every day to carry.

We are proud to say that our knives are handed down and offered from generation to generation, such as the Capuchadou knife, which features a forged bee and a hand chiseled spring. Much more than knives, our Capuchadou made in France are true life partners.
