I like them without bolsters!! I'd be all over it!!![]()
FE was also very strong at export, Spain being a main market, at such extent that 108 Girodias is almost forgotten in France but the name (made in China) still exist and famous.We can be pretty sure that one of the reasons of this closure is the end of the French colonial empire .

Snap that sucka up quick like!!! LOL So elegantI had planned on ordering a shadow Laguiole with juniper covers and carbon steel blade from Renaud Aubry. But I stumbled upon this Laguiole en Aubrac d'Autrefois and I am mesmerized by it. Look at the shape of that blade! So sleek, so pointy, so elegant. What do I do?

Big Boy is also very handsome!It’s a pity the covers aren’t juniper, but this knife definitely has je ne sais quoi.
Yes, this Laguiole is larger than any I had considered before, but sometimes you see a knife that looks so right you just have to accept the artisan’s vision.
