Pocket Knives, Useful Traditions and Essential Actions

Introduction to the Collection

The Pocket Knives collection brings together iconic items, designed to support simple tasks with reliability and precision. Conceived as everyday tools, these knives stand out for their plainness, effectiveness, and strong cultural significance. The selection includes two essential makers: Opinel, a major figure of French heritage, and Higonokami, a direct heir to the Japanese tradition of folding knives. Each piece reflects an honest vision of the utilitarian object, where function guides form and durability takes precedence over decoration. A collection dedicated to lovers of useful, discreet objects deeply rooted in reality.

Objects Designed for Daily Use

A pocket knife is above all a versatile tool, made to meet a wide variety of common situations. Whether it is to open a parcel, prepare a simple meal, or accompany an outdoor activity, these models favour reliability and mechanical simplicity. The blades are chosen for their cutting quality and ease of upkeep, while the sizes remain compact and easy to carry. These pieces naturally find their place alongside items from the Keychains & Charms collection, designed to support daily actions without bulk.

How to Use These Pieces Daily

Pocket knives fit easily into a daily routine, whether in an urban setting, on the move, or during more informal moments. Slipped into a pocket, bag, or pouch, they remain accessible while ensuring safe use thanks to their folding design. Their discreetness allows them to be taken everywhere without hassle. Paired with items from the TRAVELER'S notebook world, they support a thoughtful and roaming approach to daily life, where each object has a clear and assumed purpose.

Tips for Choosing Well and Making Your Items Last

The choice of a pocket knife depends on the intended use, the desired size, and the grip sought. A simple, well-sharpened blade meets most daily needs. Regular upkeep, including cleaning, drying, and occasional sharpening, helps preserve its qualities over time. Natural materials, such as wood or carbon steel, develop a patina that enhances the character of the object. These knives are easily stored in items from the Trays and Small Boxes collection, for simple and coherent organisation.

Exploring Other Complementary Worlds

The Pocket Knives collection is part of a broader world dedicated to useful and well-made objects. It allows a closer look at the approach of the French house Opinel, or to dive into the Japanese tradition through the Higonokami models. These complementary worlds offer a richer understanding of the knife as a cultural tool, shaped by use, history, and place.
