For Hermès, what began as a maker of leather equestrian goods for European noblemen would eventually grow into one of the most storied fashion labels in the world. In 1837, German-born French entrepreneur Thierry Hermès opened a saddle and harness purveyor in Paris. Gradually, the house extended into accessories and luggage for its riders, and today, in paying homage to its origins, the family-run luxury brand resurfaces horse motifs in everything from clothing and modernist jewelry to handbags and art de vivre tableware accessories such as this folding knife.
Hermès Buffalo Horn Knife Crafted by Jacques Mongin. The Mongin art cutlery is the symbol of exceptional French quality. Shaped by hand in the heart of the Nogent basin, a mecca of French cutlery, each piece is a work of art combining the noblest materials with ancestral know-how. Its blade is made of palladium steel engraved with "Hermès", the handle from buffalo horn shell. Length unfolded approx. 21.50 cm.
This knife is never used. Comes in its original Hermès box with Hermès ribbon mentioning the year with the theme of the year: "1991 Année de l’artisanat."
