The Glenn, a pocket knife for sailors
The Le Glenn knife is based on the story of a fisherman saved by a knife. The handle of the Le Glenn knife is made from recycled fishing net, brought ashore by fishermen. The 2.5 mm-thick blade is made of cryogenically-treated stainless steel to ensure hardness. Each knife is unique and numbered in the form of a boat registration. The first 2 letters indicate the port of origin of the recycled fishing nets used in its manufacture. Example: CC 230110 if the nets come from Concarneau, GV 230111 if they come from Guilvinec. This knife is available at only 32.00 euros on www.le-glenn.com
