Farol

Farol was born from the sea and the marine power that inspires us every day.

For nearly 30 years, we have been designing and manufacturing in our workshops in La Rochelle

knives that we want above all to be ingenious and robust. Knives with souls, that of the sea, and which we make in noble materials selected with passion and demand.

Every day in our workshop, we create knives as companion objects designed to explore the world, go beyond our own borders and go on adventures.

Beautiful objects that inspire us at every moment with the freedom to which we are so attached.

Sperm whale hunting was practiced shortly before its passage. It is this impressive animal that will inspire its design with the first knife.

1996

Farol knives will be manufactured in La Rochelle.

Very quickly the knives crisscrossed all the seas of the globe in ocean racing, fishing, in polar expeditions, on cruising sailboats...
