Pradel Folding Knife Light Horn Tip Handle & Hidden Lock-Back

The Pradel Folding Knife by Fontenille Pataud is a sophisticated revival of a classic French regional pattern, known for its clean lines and utilitarian elegance. This specific model is elevated by a handle crafted from Light Horn Tip, a material prized for its translucent beauty and incredible density. Sourced from the solid part of the horn, it showcases a stunning palette of creamy whites, honey amber, and soft marbled greys, often revealing a natural depth when polished.

Because natural Light Horn Tip varies significantly in color and transparency, we ensure a transparent purchasing experience. The photographs provided are of the specific knife currently in stock; the instrument you see in these images is the exact one that will be shipped to you.

Unlike traditional friction folders, this Pradel features a robust lock-back mechanism, providing enhanced safety and stability for demanding tasks. The blade is forged from high-performance stainless steel, polished to a mirror finish, and paired with solid stainless steel bolsters. Handcrafted in Thiers, France, by the master artisans at Fontenille Pataud, this knife represents a perfect marriage of 19th-century design and modern mechanical precision.
