An great choice Charlie! Beautiful horn, not easy to get these days. I love the old fashioned way for the pins and the slim handles make her very classy.

Nice set of tools.

A beautiful knife Charlie. Is that blade stamped? A nice touch.

Indeed, choice horn. I'm interested by those 'Bird's Eye' type pins, they might be used especially on horn to counter potential cracking or flaking of the material perhaps? They look very effective too

Thanks, Will

Yes it is stamped. Prendre la clef des champs (take the field's key) = break free.

Don't know, but it was frequently used on older patterns.

Thanks JP, Jer, Christian and Will!
Certainly the "birds-eyes" act to distribute any stress on the horn, Christian. The brass eyes are set flush, with the pins proud of the surface.

Hello Charlie, thanks you for Pierre Yves.
I have to say that Thiers has a traditional organisation, very specific. A lot of persons worked at home specialized in only one step of the fabrication. Pierre Yves is a " monteur à domicile" which means that is job is to put together the parts and finish the knife.
He doesn't engrave. For this he works with François Seychal who is a traditional engraver . He doesn't work with modern electrical tools but with his chisel/burin. It gives to his work something traditional and timeless I love .
