Hi Guys,

I was on a French knife kick a while back and I'm offering a sweet knife made by a really high quality firm in France.

The workmanship is excellent. The lockup is perfect. Blade is centered. It's a very nice knife.

I have used the knife very lightly and carried it a handful of times. I did sharpen the edge on a sharpmaker and it's razer sharp. It's in excellent, lightly used condition.

  • Blade length : about 3.5"
  • Handle length: a little over 4.25"
  • Juniper wood handle
  • Steel : 19C27 (Sandvik) cryogenic processing
  • Titanium liners
  • hardness Rockwell : 57 HRC
  • Blade mounted with beryllium copper washers.


Here's their website.

This particular model is pretty much a mandatory purchase of any knife nut in France.
