EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

20210309-130247.jpg
 
I mentioned yesterday that the trusty old 710 I was carrying deserved a better lanyard and, after taking a little time out this afternoon to tie one up, I ended up with it clipped in my right leg pocket with the SHF still at my hip just above . We had a couple big boxes that needed slaying later and the re-profiled D2 edge on this baby made pretty easy work of that task before sending the victims' remains skyward from our Russian fireplace.

Wonderful Craftsmanship!! What a beautiful well made knife!
Think you can get me started with just a Dremel and Dewalt block sander and worksharp belt sharpener ? :D

Yup, you can totally start with that. Get a cheapbcordless drill or press and files. Its pretty doable if you do little bits at a time. Not having the right tools can often be overcome with time and a keen eye. :D This project could have taken half the time if I had used different hardware, annealed the blade, had a better grinder and didn't do a handrub. I definately learned from this one. :rolleyes:

Who is the maker of that beauty ! ?

Lol, this may sound ridiculous but I have two of these knives and I’m not exactly sure how to answer that. I believe the maker is Gilles and this is part of the Fontenille Pataud line, specifically the Corsican Pialincu model. From the website I purchased them from:

“...The 10.5 cm Pialincu Corsican pocket knife was created with Antoine Zuria and Robert Beillonnet (Awarded best custom French knife maker in 1997 and 2000). The Pialincu is an evolution of the 12 cm Sperone Zuria & Gilles® in a more "gentlemen/smaller" size.....”

I get a little confused later in the description as to who actually produces the knife and whether or not it qualifies for the “Le Theirs” designation; so hopefully someone with a little more knowledge on these French knives can shed some light on the specifics.

Lol, yeah....I know, this should’ve been an easy one and I’ve somehow managed to turn it into a rambling clusterdump.
