Le Compact by Chambriard with snakewood scales
Picked this up recently on the forums, did a little bit of cleaning up on her and sharpened her keenly but find, as the others I had, she's just a little small for my use. I did inlay a small section of rubberized cork in the handle channel for those time you let it fly closed, it should stop it from hitting the back spring but I still recommend to close it by hand, just proper in my opinion.
Stainless bolsers, fileworked backspring and snakewood scales add up to a very nice gent's folder.
Price shipped in the USA is $old payment by US Postal Money Order or check if I know you, sorry but I do not have paypal.

I emailed the Chambriards in France and they did say this knife was made with an earlier blade stamp, the newer ones include the words Par on there, where as this 2002 model does not.
