Since August 29, 2025, due to the current customs policy in the United States, duties and related charges have unfortunately increased. Most buyers are already aware of this situation, as it affects all products not manufactured in the USA.

We would like to reassure you that the price of the item itself has not been increased – we continue to offer it at the same fair price as before. 

However, the customs duties must now be paid in advance.
For full transparency: the actual shipping cost is only $9.90, and the remaining amount you see under “shipping cost” represents the customs fee.

The good news is that once this is paid, we will handle all customs clearance, duties, and insurance on your behalf.
Your package will be fully cleared before it leaves, so:

Everything will be arranged smoothly, using the premium service of the German postal system, known for its security and reliability, and your order will be delivered directly to your door without any issues.

We understand that these higher customs costs are frustrating – they were a shock to us as well – but please note that this is due to the new U.S. import regulations and applies to all foreign-made products and all American buyers. We remain committed to offering our products at fair prices and maintaining the same high quality as always.

We truly thank you for your understanding and trust – we greatly appreciate your support!

"Fontenille-Pataud was founded in 1929. It quickly became recognized as a manufacturer of high-end table knives. They were admired and revered for their expertise and use of ivvory, horn and other fine wood. As a testimony to their craft, some of these knives are permanently on display at the French knife museum in Thiers, France. This tradition of quality and beauty continued through the years, including management and ownership changes. Gilles Steinberg acquired Fontenille-Pataud in 1994. The sale was more than simple business. The previous owner, Mr. Bargoin, selected Gilles to continue the Fontenille-Pataud business. He was confident that Gilles, with his hard work ethic and his passion for tradition would be well suited to use his youthful skills to bring the company into the quickly changing marketplace.
Change is inevitable. With convenience, technology and globalization, today's consumer faces a plethora of choices. Plastic handles, Chinese imports and clever marketing provided consumers with choices on quality, price and confusion. Fontenille-Pataud chose to leave the mass market mess by re-positioning its business and product line."
