A modern knife born from an original design
The Le Fidèle 20/20 folding knife, crafted from blue stabilized birch, embodies a contemporary vision of French artisanal cutlery. Designed by Thomas Boitel, the brand’s founder, it is the very first model he created in 2020. Its name refers to its unique proportions (20 cm long by 20 mm wide) and the year it was created. The result? A knife with a bold style, blending minimalism, character, and efficiency!
Clean lines and everyday practicality
This knife features a 9.2-cm blade made of Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel, a steel renowned for its thinness and corrosion resistance. Its sheep’s foot profile offers excellent cutting control, ideal for precise tasks. The blade is enhanced by a whale-bone pattern, adding an original touch without compromising performance.
The forced-lock mechanism ensures simple and safe use. This traditional system keeps the blade open during use.
The 10.8 cm handle, made of blue stabilized birch, immediately catches the eye. The stabilized wood is impregnated with resin, making it more resistant to moisture and temperature fluctuations while retaining its unique grain pattern. Its very straight and slender shape enhances the modern look and ensures a natural grip.
The full tang construction guarantees increased strength and good balance in the hand. Weighing approximately 89g, the knife remains comfortable to use both in daily life and outdoors. It comes with a black pouch, so you can safely take it with you wherever you go.
