Nontron Knives, traditional French Pocket knives are made by hand in small factory Nontron.
"The fidelity of wood and steel" motto,fits very well to oldest continuously operating cutlery forge in France.
Navette 38 is bit different than traditional single blade Nontron knife
(i should get one
)
4 inch handle,is made of boxwood as most Nontron knives,with pyrographed figures of long forgotten meaning,with polished steel bolster and bail
knife opens and closes firmly without any movement,12C27 blade arrived quite sharp and mirror polished
Corkscrew works like any other corkscrew
but can opener was bit of a mystery since i never used one like this,it turned out it is quite easy once you figure it out (i had to use bottom of empty can to try it 
)
for someone who wants more natural(wood vs plastic) feeling it is very nice alternative to SAK :thumbup:
