Pocket Knife Ripollés Number 1

Why We Love It

This pocket knife has such a great shape and feel. I love the curved handle that fits perfectly with your pinky ensuring a good grip, so cutting up saucisson for your cheese plate or cutting a few branches for marshmallows is done with ease. With the plastic handle, this make a perfect pocket knife for outdoor use, and it also pretty enough for the table. I'm a big fan of carbon steel blades, because they hold an edge longer and look amazing once they patina. It's all about the story!
