These handcrafted knives trace their lineage to the 13th century, making them among France's most storied folding blades. Since 1928, the Nontron name has represented an unwavering commitment to ancestral craftsmanship—each piece shaped using techniques refined over five centuries. The burned boxwood handles offer timeless elegance, while the meticulous hand-finishing ensures every knife meets exacting standards.

We, at Laguiole Imports, are no different; we are certain that the symbol is one of a compass (V) and the three dots (∴) representing the first three craft degrees of initiation in the \u003c\/span\u003eMasonic Honor Points. These fascinating symbols first appeared with the clog handle design. Today, they decorate all boxwood models of pockets and table knives. \u003cstrong\u003eFact\u003c\/strong\u003e: The Nontron shop is the oldest continuously operating cutlery in France.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-shaped from 40 to 50-year-old Boxwood harvested from locally grown trees and air-dried for 5 years.\u003cbr\u003eUsing old boxwood assures an unprecedented degree of hardness and prevents splits commonly found in such hardwoods.
