Product information "DONJON PassionFrance® walnut"

The Donjon is a very distinctive pocket knife, with its large blade, deep pointed tip and bishop's crook handle. Typical of the Bourbonnais region, it was made by several small knifemakers in the village of Donjon, who sold them on the region's markets until 1900 to a rural clientele. This lively cutlery scene came to an end when the cutlers in Thiers began to produce that knife at home in the Thiers mountains, at lower prices than the Donjon cutlers could produce in their small workshops. A few years ago, when the tools used to produce the components of the knife were so used that no cutler in Thiers wanted to make a DONJON any more, production was stopped and the knife was in danger of being forgotten, like other types of regional knife before.
