Goyon Juniper Wood Le Thiers Pirou Folding Knife With Leather Pouch And Box

The elegant design of the Goyon Chazeau “Thiers” folding knife was sourced from the region’s top knifemakers to best represent the long lineage of knifemaking in the city. Don’t underestimate the simple, classic shape, as it is designed as much for culinary pursuits as utility, evolving from the classic all-purpose knife carried by farmers and shepherds. With its long, slender blade, this pocket knife is a true do-it-all knife capable of everything from gathering herbs in the garden and trimming twine to opening mail, breaking down boxes, whittling or slicing sausage and cheese for lunch. The handmade knife features an ultra-tough Swedish 12c27 blade that will hold an edge for ages and sharpen up easily. The juniper wood handle packs a peppery aroma and terrific feel in the hand. The blade remains securely open with a stiff slipjoint spring, so there’s little risk of it closing during use.


Never to be caught without a knife, Matt Card, our creative director of recipe and products, has carried one of these for years—and even used it to prepare more than a few meals while on vacation. And the accompanying soft leather pouch will help keep it scratch free in your pocket or bag.

[/banner_heading] ​An area synonymous with cutlery, the tiny town of Laguiole has a reputation well outside of France for its craftsmanship when it comes to flatware. Laguiole-style knives are easy to recognize: They’re emblazoned with an iconic bee emblem on the handle. Once the essential tool of the region’s shepherds and farmers (each region had its own unique style of utility knife), Laguiole knives have become popular throughout the world—including at Michelin-starred restaurants–and the iconic style is now produced in other parts of France. You can find the traditional stylized bee on all of Goyon-Chazeau’s Laguiole line products, though all of the company’s products uphold the same exquisite design and craftsmanship.[/banner-text-break] ​ [/how-to-use-break] ​Hand-wash wooden and acrylic handles with a soft sponge.
