Le Français EXCEPTION Mammoth-tooth molar - Damascus blade - Individual knife
The Français is a knife that possesses a rare elegance that allows it to be as comfortable in the city as in the country.
The Mammoth fossil molar, originating from Siberia, has a certificate of authenticity (estimated age between 7000 and 10,000 years).
Collecting this rare material is always a real expedition. Solid teams of specialists and operational logistics are required in the Arctic environment. At the time of the thaw, the prospectors search the permafrost on the edge of the rivers for any trace of plant life that could take root on organic soil.
Once the area has been marked out, they will dig up the earth and extract the tusks and remains of the mammoth fossil. Then they will have to cut and shape the plates to be able to dress the knife.
Sometimes some North Sea sailors bring up fossils in their trawls that have recently been released by the sediments. To give this material strength, it is stabilised in resin.
