You should show us a picture of the spine on your Laguiole...I just picked up a Thiers, France made stag Laguiole, all the different spines on them from around the world are fascinating, some can be very intricate and detailed, all have some design to the spine, it’s part of the Laguiole lore...

Nice to see a fixed blade. And nice to see a Puma that has actually been used...

So nice, beautiful classics

Thanks for showing all 3. How stiff are they to open and close? Carbon steel or S/S?

The top 2 (Picnic & Traditional) are non locking type, their spring is quite stiff, opening is ok, but closing is definitely stiffer(6-7/10). The smallest XS is a locking type with smooth opening and closing.
Steel:12C27, in all 3.
Many Thanks.

The stiffness as you describe is typical to the design, even the Turkish and Pakistani made Laguioles are like this, the ones I have held are, at least...

I am unfamiliar with the "Butler. Can we see some more blades? What are their various purposes?

The rest of the blades are here.
From a friend that knows way more than I do. "Tweedale's book says the Butler firm dates back to before 1774, and GEORGE Butler became boss and namesake circa 1837. Butler's acquired the ART (in the oval on the pile side of the blades) word mark in 1861. However, ENGLAND dates this knife after 1890, and the high quality construction suggests before 1915."
Levine's says the KEY mark was from Steer & Webster 1867.
The pattern is a sportsman's knife as opposed to a horseman's knife, although both are similar. The hook instrument is for gutting birds. The large curved instrument is a hoof pick. Probably more than you wanted to know!

Really nice one Mike, always had a soft spot for those Sheffield Horseman/Sportsman knives, unfortunately all mine have issues, one day maybe.

Group shot from the great GEC Rendezvous Stag drop of 2017, they found a couple boxes os stag knives hiding in closet somewhere.
