Just so Charlie. In this case, the artisan is David Dauvillaire.

Thanks! I honestly don't know a whole lot about it or the maker. It arrived with the pivot pin sanded off too far on one side, to the point where it was coming apart. glennbad accepted the challenge of replacing the pin and now it's perfect. He did a fantastic jobSweet
Can you tell us more about it?
According to Fontenille Pataud, this pattern is a predecessor to the Laguiole knife.
"Before the development of the Laguiole in the early 19th century, French shepherds carried a knife called the Capuchadou or capujadou."
... I can't find a translation or know what either of those words mean in French(?)
This one is a rather large and rather robust knife. Did I mention large and robust? ... glad they came up with the Laguiole LOL
Is that bone? Warthog? Should age nicely.
Douk-Douk?

A curved Douk Douk!!! Wow! Not that cheap a knife!! Nice!!
