Perceval Le Francais Wacapou

Atelier Perceval - Le Francais Wacapou

  • The classic from France
  • made by hand
  • Extremely thin ground

The Le Francais is already something of a modern classic of the French knife culture and is, along with the L08, one of Perceval's most popular models.

Due to the thin, extremely cutting blade and the very universal handle, it is suitable for a whole range of cutting tasks that occur in everyday life. At the same time, the knife does not attract attention in any way and even makes a really good picture in a restaurant. Thanks to the small leather case it can be carried comfortably in your pocket without scratching the beautiful handle.

Although we are dealing with a quite modern knife design, the roots of Le Francais go back to the 17th century. Already in this long past time, French farm workers used a very similar looking knife.

The Le Francais is locked by a cleanly engaging liner lock, which is wonderfully easy to unlock. Due to the small nail hammer the knife can be opened easily with two hands. The wonderfully pointed blade is very well suited for fine work and the cutting edge, which is sharpened on buffalo leather, comes with an enormous sharpness.
The Sandvik 19C27 steel used is highly rust resistant and therefore completely unproblematic in combination with food.

All in all you get a really great piece of French knife culture, which will surely take a special place in your collection. 

Wacapou wood, comes from South America. Wacapou has a chocolaty brown tone, which is interspersed with light veins.

Please note, each knife is unique and differs from the knives shown in the picture, because the selected materials are natural materials.

Warn-/Sicherheitshinweis:

Schnittverletzungen: Die häufigste Gefahr bei der Verwendung von Messern ist das Risiko von Schnittverletzungen. 

Scharfe Klingen können schnell durch Haut und Gewebe dringen. Abrutschen des Messers: Ein unsachgemäßes oder zu starkes Drücken kann dazu führen, dass das Messer abrutscht und unkontrollierte Bewegungen entstehen, die Verletzungen verursachen können. Verletzungen durch 
Stürze: Messer sollten niemals ungesichert oder in der Nähe von Tischkanten abgelegt werden, um zu verhindern, dass sie herunterfallen und jemanden verletzen. 

Stumpfe Messer: Stumpfe Messer stellen ein größeres Verletzungsrisiko dar, da sie mehr Kraft erfordern und leichter abrutschen können. Messer sollten daher regelmäßig sachgemäß nachgeschärft werden. 
Nicht bestimmungsgemäße Nutzung: Das Verwenden eines Messers für Aufgaben, für die es nicht vorgesehen ist (z.B. als Hebelwerkzeug), kann nicht nur die Klinge beschädigen, sondern auch zu Unfällen führen.
