French regional knives...

[Modoc ED]

I think Honoré Durand makes a fine knife. Nice pistachio wood.

Thanks Vince.

I picked up these Rotosphere knives by Bruno Sauzedde because I think the 'locking' mechanism is interesting (not really a secure lock), and I liked the wood choices.

and Bubinga

The ball snaps into the socket, but it isn't very secure.

Geez, Fred Z , they could add a rare earth magnet to that lock style and hold the ball down a bit more securely. I kind of like it - a ball tip friction folder. Who knew

Ray, it does snap in place - it doesn't flop out or anything, but it's not tight enough to instill a whole lot of confidence. I remember my Dad had something similar when I was a kid, and I'd forgotten about his until I actually held one of these in my hand. As I recall now, his knife had more of a solid cylinder that snapped into a cross-wise slot.

Am I allowed a double post? I showed this one on the Traditional French Friday thread already, but I'm really pleased with it.

I guess you could call that semi-locking friction folder? I mean it looks like it could be held closed by hand.
Very interesting.

Absolutely gorgeous.

Thanks a lot.

Hello,
Thank you for your comments.
The Gouttiere is not crushed, the texture of the horn gives this effect on the pictures.
Have a nice day
