Fontenille Pataud Corsican Guilles Vendetta Damascus Folding Knife Thuya Handle. Fontenille Pataud Guilles Corsican Vendetta Damascus folding knife with Thuya burl handle and Twist pattern Damasteel blade. Custom, hand-made in Thiers, France. The blade measures 10cm or 4 long and is made of Damasteel, a high-quality stainless Damascus steel produced in Sweden. It has a nail mark on the left side of the blade, as well as the Guilles stamp on the tang. The right side of the blade has V5-026 lightly etched at the upper left. The twist pattern is very nice, with bold stars at the bottom. You can see the Damascus layers on the spine of the blade as well. When folded, the knife measures 12 cm or 4-5/8 long. Open it measures 22cm or 8-1/2. It weighs 130 grams. The spring has a guillochage (hand filed) decorative pattern on the top and has a blade stop system; Fontenille Pataud makes strong, forged bee stops, not cheaply welded ones. The bolster is brushed stainless steel. Condition of the knife is used, good. The blade is straight and very sharp, no nicks to the edge and the point is needle fine. There are some tiny little spots on the blade, I’m not sure if they are corrosion or just from the forging process. The blade has no looseness or play and locks open tightly. The bolsters have a couple of small dark spots on them and some fine scratches in places. The inside liner is clean with no rust or corrosion. No damage to the wood scales of the handle.
