Les Fines Lames Commemorating 5th Anniversary With Two New Le Petit Finishes

To celebrate its fifth anniversary, Les Fines Lames is releasing two new finishes of the company’s popular Le Petit cigar knives, each of which features the topography of the moon carved on their handles.

First is the Le Petit Gold Moon 5th Anniversary Limited Edition, which has an 18-karat gold plated handle outlined with black anodized aluminum and a Damasteel blade. Only 10 individually numbered cutters are available, with an MSRP of $680 each in the U.S. and €680 for European markets.

In addition, Les Fines Lames is releasing the Le Petit Silver Moon 5th Anniversary Edition, which is made with a silver-plated handle that has been outlined with black anodized aluminum and features a blade made of 14C28N stainless steel. According to the  company, this is the 100th Le Petit design, and while each limited-edition cutter will be individually numbered, a final production number has not yet been finalized. The Silver Moon 5th Anniversary cutters have an MSRP of $299 each in the U.S. and €299 for European markets.

Functionally, these cutters are identical to the dozens of other Le Petit models the company has introduced over the years, the only differences are the handle design and blade materials. The Le Petit 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. That means it measures 4.53 inches when closed and 6.18 inches when open.
