Coutellerie Nontronnaise has been producing pocket knives in the French village of Nontron ever since the 16th century. With it Nontron is the oldest, still existing, knife brand in France. Characterizing for a Nontron knife is the reversed V-symbol. Burned in the wooden handle. An old and mysterious symbol of which the origin is unknown. Whatever the historical meaning may be, the charm of a Nontron knife is absolutely timeless!
