Perceval Le Francais Gajak

Atelier Perceval - Le Francais

  • The classic from France
  • Assembled by hand
  • Extremely thinly ground

The Le Francais is already something of a modern classic of French knife culture and, along with the L08, is considered one of Perceval's most popular models.

Due to the thin, extremely cutting blade and the very universal handle, it is suitable for a whole range of cutting tasks that arise in everyday life. The knife is in no way unpleasantly conspicuous and even makes a really good picture in the restaurant. Thanks to the small leather case, it can be easily carried in your pocket without scratching the beautiful handle scales.

Although we are dealing with a thoroughly modern knife design, the roots of Le Francais go back to the 17th century. Already in this long past time, a very similar looking knife was used by the French farm workers.

The Le Francais is locked by a clean liner lock, which is wonderfully easy to unlock. The small nail hammer makes it very easy to open the knife two-handed. The wonderfully tapered blade, is very well suited for fine work and the edge on roughened buffalo leather, comes from the factory with an enormous sharpness. The Sandvik 19C27 steel used is highly resistant to rust and therefore completely unproblematic in connection with food.

All in all, you get a really great piece of French knife culture here, which will certainly take a special place in your collection.

The ebony version is also available with a corkscrew.

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.

Perceval L08 Ebony Ebony each handle an absolute unicum leather sheath included Perceval L08 - The modern classicWith the L08, Perceval have managed to establish something like a modern classic in French knife culture. 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 coherent-looking knife, which also lies wonderfully in the hand. The Sheepfoot blade, which is rounded towards the tip, allows for safe work and proves to be extremely cutting-friendly.This is due on the one hand to the flat ground up to the back of the blade and on the other hand to the extremely thin cutting bevel. Perceval sharpen their knives all by hand on slowly rotating grinding stones. The final honing is also done - quite traditionally - on a strap made of buffalo leather. An absolute highlight is the extremely satisfying sound when the liner lock engages. Here you simply notice how precisely these knives are made. Since a pocket clip was the great line disturb, a Stecketui leather is included. So you can carry your L08 comfortably without scratching the handle scales. Ebony THE classic! Ebony has an incredibly high density and has been used for decades in instrument making for fingerboards. Due to the very fine pores, the wood is relatively insensitive.
