Alain Descy is a renowned Belgian craftsman specializing in the creation of high-quality knives, known for combining functionality, aesthetics and craftsmanship. Descy works with fine materials such as steel and wood to create durable knives with a refined design.

The Bonvent model, shown here, embodies the best of her style: a sturdy blade in satin-finished steel, engraved with Descy's signature, and a bone handle, which provides elegance and an ergonomic grip. This folding knife is lightweight, versatile and ideal for everyday use or for collectors.

Another distinctive feature is the patented locking system, which is based on a pin positioned on the top of the handle, which offers security without compromising the compactness of the design.

The Bonvent perfectly combines traditional design and modernity, representing a balance between practicality and beauty, all handcrafted with exceptional attention to detail.
