The Papounay

Discover my first folding knife design, a creation that I refine with each production to achieve the perfect balance I seek.

In homage to my father, I chose to give it the same little nickname as him, making this project even more meaningful.

This knife combines functionality and emotion, reflecting my passion for craftsmanship and respect for traditions.
