Farol Forban Knife in Wenge – A Tribute to French Maritime Heritage

The Forban knife by Farol is a masterful homage to the legendary boatswain’s knives of the past. Designed for sailors who valued utility, precision, and safety, it combines historical inspiration with modern French craftsmanship. Handmade in La Rochelle, this knife embodies both function and artistry, making it a standout piece for collectors, adventurers, and culinary enthusiasts.

The blade is forged and truncated, reflecting the design of knives that sailors sharpened before setting sail. Robust yet practical, it ensures reliable performance whether on deck, in the kitchen, or at the table. Its compact, ergonomic design prioritizes safety and ease of handling, a hallmark of the Forban’s thoughtful craftsmanship.

The handle is made from wenge wood, known for its rich dark tones, durability, and natural beauty. Enhanced with ultra-strong Turkish hat-type quilting woven from tuna fishing line, the handle delivers a secure grip, even in wet or challenging conditions. This construction ensures that the Forban is as effective at sea as it is in everyday culinary use.
