Louis
The Louis collection: a simple designer knife or a technical feat?
Summary: This is a technical feat manifested in a design of absolute purity. The Louis collection solves an engineering dilemma: how to securely attach a handle to a full tang blade without the weak point of rivets? The answer is a major innovation: a one-piece handle, machined to the millimeter from a single block of wood, which fits perfectly onto the blade thanks to an invisible fastening mechanism . The result is a knife of exceptional structural integrity, with a clean design and uncompromising performance.
Technical analysis of the Louis collection
- Handle design: One-piece . Machined from a single piece of wood for maximum strength and hygiene.
- Assembly: Patented invisible fastening system. No screws, no rivets. The integrity of the handle and blade is complete.
- Construction: Full tang construction . The high-performance steel blade runs the entire length, ensuring perfect balance.
- Manufacturing precision: Handle/blade adjustment to the micron, achieved by digital machining.
- Materials: Nitrox® technical steel and selected dense woods.
In what ways is the Louis handle design superior?
Unlike a traditional assembly with screwed or riveted scales, the Louis handle represents a structural advancement. It is entirely machined from a solid block of wood. An extremely precise internal cut, impossible to achieve manually, allows it to become one with the blade's tang.
The functional advantages are undeniable:
- Absolute solidity: The absence of rivets eliminates potential stress points and weaknesses. The knife offers a monolithic, one-piece feel. The applied force is distributed throughout the entire structure.
- Hygiene and durability: With no gaps between the wood and the steel, there is no space where water or bacteria could seep in. The handle will not warp or deform.
- Manufacturing feat: This perfect fit is the result of mastery of digital machining (CNC), demonstrating expertise that combines craftsmanship and high technology.
What materials underlie this performance?
Such an advanced design demands equally advanced materials. We have selected a combination that guarantees both performance and longevity.
| Component | Technical specifications and functional advantages |
|---|---|
| Blade | French Nitrox® stainless steel (54-56 HRC) . Its fine, nitrogen-enriched structure offers superior cutting power and excellent edge retention, while being easy to resharpen. |
| One-piece handle | Machined from dense and stable woods. Walnut was chosen for its mechanical resistance and unique grain, enhanced by the absence of rivets. |
What is the result in hand and in use?
The result is a knife with exceptional balance and feel. Its monolithic feel inspires complete confidence. The weight is perfectly distributed, the handle becomes one with the hand, allowing for increased control and precision. The clean aesthetic is not merely a stylistic choice: it is the logical consequence of a design conceived for efficiency and structural integrity. It is a tool that responds instantly, without any flex or mechanical play.
What type of user is the Louis collection aimed at?
It is aimed at the technically inclined aesthete. The user who appreciates a minimalist and pure design, not for its fashion value, but because they understand that this apparent simplicity conceals complexity and technical superiority. It is the choice of those who seek functional innovation, a high-performance object whose beauty stems directly from the intelligence of its design. The Louis collection is for those who see a knife as a precision engineering system.
