Le Saint-Bernard : a legendary mountain fellow.
The name "Saint-Bernard" originates from the Great St Bernard Hospice, a travellers hospice on the often treacherous St. Bernard Pass in the Alps, between Switzerland and Italy. The pass, the lodge, and the dogs are named for Bernard of Menthon, the monk who established the station 1000 years ago. It was originally bred as a working dog, then later to rescue people who were lost in the snow. They carried a mythical small barrel of brandy around their neck to revive frozen mountaineers. The Napoleon's soldiers' chronicles tell of how many lives were saved by the Saint-Bernard. Their heroic behaviour gave birth to the motto "Nobility, dedication, sacrifice". This motto inspires the St. Bernard knife. The enduring strength, humble beginnings and unfailing craftsmanship are tribute to the name.
Since 1995, Fontenille-Pataud has restarted production of fine folding knives, specifically the LAGUIOLE knives.
It was a major decision to adopt as a policy "home and handmade in France".
