I'm so confused. I thought you only bought knives with ebony covers?

Took a while to decide, chose my options without the "lollyscramble" and got exactly what I wanted.
Absolutely. The only way. Nowadays buying a GEC is like getting into Best Buy on Black Friday versus having a personal shopper guide you through a boutique while sipping on a cocktail.A much more civilized way of doing things, don't you think?![]()
Beautiful Knife, John!!I was carrying this today and realized that I have yet to put up a picture of this knife.

Ha Ha!! Been there, done that!!Nice knife Charlie. I think I need to get me an FdL knife. I really like the stamp they use for their blades.
How ridiculous does that sound? Wanting to buy a knife because you like the blade stamp...hahaha.
Yep, happy pockets LOLVery unique, looks like something from the 70s. everyone come on, get happy. I think that was the Patridge family.
That's what stabilized pine cone looks like (it's as much black epoxy as it is pine cone), so I suspect that's what it actually is. Beautiful knife. Congrats!Just received my first Laguiole from Coutellerie du Barry. I'm not a knife reviewer but I'll do what I can. The first thing that gets me interested in a knife is its looks. This does not disappoint in any way. The handles are called black pine cone but i don't know what they actually are. It measures at 4" closed and the stamped blade is quite attractive. It's much thicker than I thought but feels good in the hand. It opens and closes with a smooth but hard pull of about 7-8. It exudes quality. I thought all Laguioles had a shepherd 's cross but if not that was my false impression. It arrived with a soft black leather slip. Sort of like a pair of driving gloves. Along with a business card and a card of photos a nice pen was included. Overall an impression of people that care about their product and how they appear. I'd have to rate it a 9.5 because after all I have to believe there's still a 10 out there.
Anyone looking at French cutlery would be very well satisfied. View attachment 1815391View attachment 1815392View attachment 1815393
