French regional knives...

Check out the kitchen knife section for knives already made, or there is a services section somewhere on the forums. This may be a silly question, are you trying to find a French maker to do it? Probably not but had to ask if staying with the French theme.

Could be easier to check dedicated French internet sites, there's quite a few. ;)

There were (and are) still a few ferrule knives (after all Opi did not patent the system, there's even a ferrule lag by Dubost) but few can make a living of it because Opi is ferocious and has a powerful sale (strike) force.
Btw, seems the black one is wenge. (from top : beech, oak, olive wood, bubinga, padauk, wenge, boxwood) Blade is 12C27.

Are these for sale, or is that an outdated advertisement, JP??

I think it is a period advertisment, but it is not too difficult to find any kind of wood.
I'm not sure but there's also another brand of specialized knives with the same ferrrule...

Thanks for the Brel video, we share yet another passion. What a great song. When I first heard him it was in college with a young female Francophile and it took me about a year before I could figure out who he was. When I heard him again, I committed his name to memory.
