Les Fines Lames Adds Le Petit Bourbon Barrel

Les Fines Lames has announced a new addition to its Barrel Series named Le Petit by Les Fines Lames Bourbon Barrel, a version of its popular Le Petit cigar knife featuring a body made from barrels that previously held bourbon. In addition to the handle crafted from bourbon barrels, the blade is engraved with a representation of a distillery.

This is the second time that Les Fines Lames has released a cutter with a body made from alcohol barrels after the French company shipped the Le Petit Cognac Barrel featuring a handle made from barrels that previously held cognac in 2020.

Other than the new handle materials and the artwork on the blade, the rest of the cutter is the same as in previous versions of the company’s Le Petit. That means it is made in France, and measures 4.53 inches when closed and 6.18 inches when open. The blade is the standard 14C28N stainless steel blade that is found on many other versions of the Le Petit. The knife works by opening the knife blade from the body, which reveals a half-moon cut-out that is designed to cut the cap of a cigar. Les Fine Lames says the cutter can cut cigars up to 70 ring gauge.

In an email, Fabien Kerneis, social media brand content manager for Les Fines Lames, told halfwheel that the Le Petit by Les Fines Lames Bourbon Barrel is priced at $159 and that the cutter is currently available for sale on the company’s website.
