I'm relisting this very stylish Le Thiers in aromatic juniper and ebony bolsters by a maker named Regnaud. This one looks and smells divine. Here are a few considerations: the blade looks unused, but it does close off-centered (no rubbing), and there are some gaps in the back spring and rough finishing on the pins. There is one pin crack on the ebony on the butt of the knife that goes from the pin to the butt. You could apply a little glue to stabilize and sand it down. Or just leave it. It is meant to be a gentleman's table knife, so if you store it well and take care of it, all should be just fine. The knife handle is about 4 1/4 in., so it is a hand filler, but quite slim as well. Since the knife has a few issues, I'd like to sweeten the deal by adding your choice of ONE of the two knives in the other picture: a GEC Pemberton Templar in the blue acrylic or a recent run Case peanut in red jigged bone. The Templar has a few pepper spots, but otherwise is very good. The Case is like new.
So you can get the beautiful, aromatic gents knife and one of the two little pocket pals for $145 shipped. The Regnaud cost me $131.77, and the other two knives retail for around $50 - $60, so I think it's a fair package deal. I'm about to leave for a couple of hours, but I'll respond to any inquiries as soon as I can.
