The blade is Sandvik 12C27, a fine-grained Swedish stainless steel that is a favorite for pocket knives: it takes a keen edge, is easy to resharpen and resists rust well. Thiers-Issard makes it in woods such as olive, kingwood, ebony, yew, lemonwood, guaiac and bocote, and in pearl or black-and-white acrylic. Hand filework on the spring is an option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.55em;line-height:1.25;margin:2.2em 0 .6em;padding-top:.9em;border-top:1px solid #e2d9cb;color:#1d2326;\"\u003eThe French pocket knife\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 1.1em;\"\u003eIn the early nineteenth century most people in France ate with their own folding knife. Women carried one in their pocket, often with a second silver blade for fruit; men's knives had a pruning blade and a corkscrew. Around 1850 the habit faded and the table knife took over at meals, but the pocket knife stayed with farmers, hunters, gardeners and anyone who worked outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 1.1em;\"\u003eThiers was its capital. At the Paris exhibition of 1867 the town and its valley made 60 percent of all French cutlery, above all folding knives, and as late as 1960 pocket knives were still the largest single part of its output. Handles were made of horn, bone, buffalo horn and ebony shipped from Africa and the islands; before the Second World War Thiers imported around a thousand tonnes of buffalo horn a year, partly to cut into scales for pocket knives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.55em;line-height:1.25;margin:2.2em 0 .6em;padding-top:.9em;border-top:1px solid #e2d9cb;color:#1d2326;\"\u003eMore pocket knives from Thiers-Issard\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 1.1em;\"\u003eAll our folding knives are made by hand by \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/thiers-issard\" style=\"color:#8c2f26;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eThiers-Issard\u003c\/a\u003e in Thiers.
