Perceval L08 Olive Wood

Perceval L08 Olive - The modern Classic

  • Olive wood handle
  • inclusive leather sheath

Perceval have managed to establish something like a modern classic in the French knife culture with the L08.

With the wonderfully rounded curve of the handle, the L08 is slightly reminiscent of the rear of an old Cadillac - here the manufacturer has managed to combine the time-honored tradition of knife making in France with the modern design of the 20th century.
The result is a wonderfully harmonious looking knife, which also fits wonderfully in the hand.

The sheepfoot blade, which tapers round to the tip, allows safe working and proves to be extremely easy to cut.
This is partly due to the flat grinding, which is raised to the back of the blade, and partly due to the extremely thin cutting bevel. Perceval sharpen their knives all by hand on slowly rotating grinding stones. The final sharpening is also done - very traditionally - on a belt of roughened buffalo leather.

An absolute highlight is the extremely satisfying noise when the liner lock is engaged. Here you simply notice how precisely these knives are manufactured.

Since a pocket clip would disturb the great line, a leather liner lock is included. So you can take your L08 with you comfortably without scratching the handles.

The olive wood, comes from Southern Europe and is characterized by its warm wood tone.

Please note, each knife is unique and differs from the knives shown in the picture, because the selected materials are natural materials.

Warn-/Sicherheitshinweis:

Schnittverletzungen: Die häufigste Gefahr bei der Verwendung von Messern ist das Risiko von Schnittverletzungen. 

Scharfe Klingen können schnell durch Haut und Gewebe dringen. Abrutschen des Messers: Ein unsachgemäßes oder zu starkes Drücken kann dazu führen, dass das Messer abrutscht und unkontrollierte Bewegungen entstehen, die Verletzungen verursachen können. Verletzungen durch 
Stürze: Messer sollten niemals ungesichert oder in der Nähe von Tischkanten abgelegt werden, um zu verhindern, dass sie herunterfallen und jemanden verletzen. 

Stumpfe Messer: Stumpfe Messer stellen ein größeres Verletzungsrisiko dar, da sie mehr Kraft erfordern und leichter abrutschen können. Messer sollten daher regelmäßig sachgemäß nachgeschärft werden. 
Nicht bestimmungsgemäße Nutzung: Das Verwenden eines Messers für Aufgaben, für die es nicht vorgesehen ist (z.B. als Hebelwerkzeug), kann nicht nur die Klinge beschädigen, sondern auch zu Unfällen führen.
