Much more than mere tools, they have, over time, become true symbols of social status and refinement. First appearing mainly in the 18th century, this category of knives underwent significant development in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Although less common today than single-blade knives, they continue to fascinate enthusiasts and collectors due to their rarity, technical complexity, and the quality of the craftsmanship of the artisans who created them.   <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Emergence of the Pocket Knife and Its Evolution<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The history of the folding knife is closely linked to that of the pocket, which first appeared in the Middle Ages and was incorporated into men\u2019s clothing beginning in the late 17th century. Before that time, straight knives were generally carried in sheaths attached to the belt. With the rise of sewn-in pockets, folding knives became more convenient to carry and gradually established themselves as everyday items. They thus became a distinctive feature of men\u2019s fashion and met the mobility needs of their users.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Luxury items sought after by the elite<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Certain multi-piece models were particularly popular among the nobility and the bourgeoisie. Two-piece knives, notably the \u201c\u00e0 la Berge\u201d models or those with opposing blades, combined functionality and elegance. They often featured a steel blade and a second blade made of silver or gold, materials resistant to corrosion. Easy to carry, these knives were also symbols of good taste and social distinction. The examples that have survived to this day are rare and are now highly sought after by collectors and specialized museums.    <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Great Master Cutlers of the 18th and 19th Centuries<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The article highlights several major figures in the cutlery trade. In the 18th century, Raymond Arnould distinguished himself by crafting multi-piece knives of remarkable complexity, notably a famous knife known as the \u201cveterinarian\u2019s knife.\u201d In the 19th century, Jean-Baptiste Guerre and later his son Charles contributed to the renown of Langres cutlery. Awarded prizes at numerous exhibitions and decorated with the Legion of Honor, Jean-Baptiste Guerre notably created a cylindrical pocket knife featuring twenty-one blades. These artisans exemplify the technical and artistic excellence of a French cutlery tradition whose legacy lives on today.    <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Further Reading<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This article is also available in <strong>digital format<\/strong>, in French and English.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lapassiondescouteaux.fr\/flipbook-166-fr-les-multipieces\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/lapassiondescouteaux.fr\/flipbook-166-fr-les-multipieces\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read the French version<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/lapassiondescouteaux.fr\/flipbook-166-uk-les-multipieces\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/lapassiondescouteaux.fr\/flipbook-166-uk-les-multipieces\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read the English version<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/lapassiondescouteaux.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/couteaux-multipieces-18e-19e-siecles-apercu-magazine-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Preview of a two-page spread from the article on multi-purpose knives published in issue No. 166 of *La Passion des Couteaux*.\" class=\"wp-image-987518447\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lapassiondescouteaux.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/couteaux-multipieces-18e-19e-siecles-apercu-magazine-980x551.jpg 980w, https:\/\/lapassiondescouteaux.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/couteaux-multipieces-18e-19e-siecles-apercu-magazine-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Issue 166 of <em>*La Passion des Couteaux*<\/em><\/strong> is now available for order.
