Thank you sir! The length is about 22cm and I’m not sure what the wood is. it’s not identified in any of the paperwork. I really like the file work on the back spring.

I have one like this that is walnut though it could also be wenge.

Very nice one! I love En Aubrac's satin steel and wood scales.

Forge de Laguiole

If they made one like that with a corkscrew I would be in trouble.

 

[ErikMB]

Agreed. Well done guillochage really enhances a French knife.

Who makes this one? Got more photos?

I think this one is made by Jérôme Latreille.

Laguiole Camembert. Love the backspring on this knife, the closing has such a satisfying sound, it is amazing. My first French pocket knife. Already checked out their website, and they have one with Pistachio handles. Might have to get one of those as well

Unsure but looks like Jérôme Latreille's work.i

That's really nice looking. The profile reminds me of the Winkler Belt Knife.

I'm a big fan of le Camembert! Nice juniper on yours, a very classic French handle and the scent really adds to it as well.

Here is mine in Pistachio. It is a relatively new pattern, the coin is much older!

Thanks for the picture, that wood is gorgeous!

Thank you kindly! FWIW, all of the pistachio handles I've seen of this knife had really good figure. I'd say go for it!

 

[VictaEder]

I will eventually, gonna wait for a sale.

In the meantime, another pic of the juniper.

 

[Will Power]

draggat I'm an enthusiast for that Pistachio too, fine grain and swirls. Come to think of it, the nuts are wonderful as well, and the ice-cream...

Really like the pistachio scales, and I like the smell of juniper too. Thanks for sharing. Old pics but wanted to sure these again. Sabot Pradel amd Alpin, and a Lombard.

 

[cbach8tw]

I have always liked the Le 125 from Marie Taillardat, if anyone sees anything new patterns from her, please share, as I am interested to see how she progresses.

thanks for the pics of this lady maker too, in the first pic I wonder if that was a fixed blade on her table in the clamp? Maybe a kitchen knife.

Hi, yes it seems she makes some fixed blades, mainly for cooking .
