This type of horn is characterised by wavy fibres and its speckles. We process this material in the same way as deer horn: we give it a shape, but retain the surface texture. The result is a very tactile, multi-coloured object that can be admired from many angles.

The "L-09" model, a tool that has served the Piedmont shepherds through the ages, is now seen a sophisticated accessory for elegant city dwellers, while still preserving its authentic features. Its fastener allows single-hand opening and blade locking using the thumb or index finger. A sleek, clean-cut line with no mechanism, pure simplicity!
Precautions:
- Perceval pocket knives are not dishwasher safe nor washing machine safe (oversight in pockets!)
Care instructions:
- After use, humidify the blade, wipe it and fold it up.
- In case of water contact, quickly wipe the handle.
- A regular sharpening with a sharpening steel or a hone allows to keep the original edge.
- You receive a sleeve with each Perceval pocket knife. It protects the knife from impacts and frictions.
