Description from the seller

Éloi Pernet – Rare pocket knife with elephant motif

Rare pocket knife signed Éloi Pernet, a French designer renowned for his original models and minimalist style. This knife is distinguished by its superb medallion featuring an elephant, one of the brand's most emblematic motifs.

Its elegant and timeless design, combined with quality craftsmanship, makes it a piece as interesting aesthetically as historically. The blade is present and functional. The whole is in good general condition, with some light signs of wear and micro-scratches consistent with its age.

Elephant-decorated models are among the rarest versions of Éloi Pernet's production and appear on the market infrequently. An iconic piece that has become difficult to find in this configuration.

Weight: 49.76 g. And 13.8 cm
