Coutel Custom 3 Blade Folding Knife Pearl Handles CL33118

The Coutel Custom 3-Blade Folding Knife with Pearl Handles is a showcase of timeless craftsmanship and elegant British design. Built in Sheffield, England—a city renowned for its cutlery heritage—this refined pocketknife is ideal for collectors, light users, or anyone who appreciates classic styling and premium materials.

At the heart of the knife are three stainless steel blades in a polished mirror finish, offering a balance of utility and visual appeal. The blade configuration includes two smaller blades measuring approximately 1.75 inches and a larger center blade at 3.25 inches. This tri-blade setup gives you flexible options for small cutting tasks, letter opening, or basic everyday carry needs, all while maintaining the aesthetic of a gentleman’s folder.

The handle is crafted from genuine mother-of-pearl, offering a luxurious, iridescent look that shifts subtly in the light. It's fitted with brass pins and liners that are both engraved and polished for added elegance. These brass details provide a tasteful contrast to the pearlescent handle, reinforcing the knife’s traditional style and elevated finish. The knife also includes decorative bolsters, adding strength to the frame and highlighting the attention to detail that defines Coutel’s work.

A slip-joint locking mechanism allows each blade to open and close smoothly with a satisfying snap, using classic nail nicks for deployment. The joint tension is finely tuned—not too stiff, not too loose—making it both functional and collectible. It closes down to a compact length of approximately 4.75 inches and weighs in around 7.2 ounces, offering a solid feel without becoming unwieldy in pocket or case.

While not built for hard utility or field work, this knife excels as a showpiece, heirloom, or part of a curated collection. Whether displayed in a cabinet or carried on special occasions, it speaks to a tradition of refined folding knives that emphasize form as much as function.
