Hello,

Today I would like to show you some creations of this great knife maker, member of the french association Les Vieilles Lames.
Jean-Pierre was surgeon before to retire.

And no he was not a pro just an amateur in all the meaning of the word .
Jean-Pierre left us for the paradise of the knife-makers. I hope he will have a real good time there .

What an impressive body of work. Wow wow & wow. I particularly am taken by the white ones.
Not one to want a white knife but these forms are especially appealing.

Very elegant. I especially like the elaborate filigrees and tiny dots he inlaid on the handles. Thanks

He was really skillfull and always challenged and tried something new.
This was last year when he gave a hand on the Vieilles lames stand for the la Monnerie show.

This was his alias.
There's a thread showing his work http://couteauxdepoche.forumactif.com/t5292-jpp22-la-suite

He had never seen a Whittler and when he saw the split spring he decided he had to try one for size (his pictures)

And the result :

He assembled my Crosse.

A very creative solution to keep a low profile on the secondary blades. I love those secondary pulls! A perfect split spring too!

These three are the same pattern, just each has a different locking system.
