Les Fines Lames Le Petit - Padauk

The Les Fines Lames Le Petit is the cigar knife that redefined the cutter — a two-in-one accessory that combines a genuine folding pocket knife with a precise cigar cutter, all in one beautifully made, pocket-sized object. Designed in the South of France and crafted in Thiers, the historic French capital of cutlery, the Le Petit opens one-handed with a satisfying lever action and slices cleanly through the cap of your cigar up to a large ring gauge. It is the flagship of Les Fines Lames — the piece that launched the brand to global fame and remains the everyday-carry of choice for aficionados who want their accessories to be as considered as their cigars.

More than a cutter, the Le Petit is an object to own and enjoy: a stainless steel blade paired with a hand-finished handle, backed by a limited lifetime warranty, and supplied with a small tool that lets you adjust the blade's cutting resistance to your own preference. It makes a superb gift for any cigar lover — and, once you have one in your pocket, an indispensable one.

About the Padauk handle: This Le Petit is finished with a handle in padauk, a striking African hardwood prized for its warm, rich reddish-orange tone that deepens beautifully with age. Each piece of padauk is unique in its grain, so no two Le Petit Padauk cutters are exactly alike — a genuinely individual everyday-carry.
