German Engineered Cigars and Les Fines Lames have teamed up to create Le Petit – Kentron, a cutter that was developed using 3D printing.
Crafted in a hub of French cutlery, Thiers, Le Petit ($179) is a friction folder knife slightly over four inches long featuring a non-lockable stainless steel blade made that handles up to 70 gauge cigars.
“’Engineering as an art‘ is a principle we share with our French colleagues at Les Fines Lames,” Oliver Nickels, co-founder and chief cigar engineer of German Engineered Cigars, said in a press release. “This shared vision sparked the creation of Le Petit – Kentron a symbol of true friendship. It blends traditional craftsmanship and avant-garde technology and shows what happens when creative minds and skilled hands come together across borders.”
