Perrin La Griffe D2 Black Knife - Compact Fixed Blade with Kydex Sheath

Overview

The Perrin La Griffe D2 black knife is a fixed-blade neck knife designed by Fred Perrin, a renowned figure in French cutlery. Cut from a single piece of D2 steel, it stands out for its compactness, robustness, and its discreet yet elegant black stonewashed finish. Designed to be worn around the neck or slipped into a pocket, it always stays within reach for everyday cutting tasks: boxes, ropes, cable ties, and small daily jobs.

Use and Maintenance

As D2 is a carbon steel, we recommend wiping the blade after each use and regularly applying a thin film of oil to preserve the stonewashed finish and prevent any signs of oxidation. The Kydex sheath is simply cleaned with lukewarm water. Before carrying in public spaces, check the regulations in force in your canton or destination. This knife is delivered with its Kydex sheath, ready to use.
