Sorry to be late in commenting on this wonderful gift that you told me about. Simple yet beautiful.

Here is a beautiful old gal that dates well past a century. The handle is finely carved from one piece of lovely old horn.
My French friends might appreciate that it is sitting in front of a Buche de Noel that my wife makes for Christmas each year.

OMG, What a set! I'd love to see those in more detail. Could you post a few of your favs with close ups?

The easiest way would be to search for my posts in this thread. I have presented quite a few of my French knives in there. I add one each Friday so eventually they will all be shown in here.

Regards
Tom

One would almost get the impression that you like the pattern.
Is that Munoz modern or mammoth?

Well there is no denying it……
The Munoz is mammoth.

I'd love to get something like that, but in my state even mammoth is banned from commerce. I have no interest in modern, but, as an avid fossil collector, mammoth and mastodon have a lot of appeal.

Gotta protect the mammoths.

With the help of a fellow from Arizona, JackHammer , I reached out to him to see if by chance he might still have a knife and sheath I sold him years ago and was very happy that he still had it and said he just held onto it and didn't use it as it was just too pretty. Well, we worked out a deal and he shipped her home to me, checking the back of the sheath to see the date that I stamped into it, it was from back in 2013, so just about 10 years ago ! and still in mint condition. Even has the strip of rubberized cork that I laid down into the blade well so that if by accident I let the blade slip, it would hit that first and hopefully slow down the blades travel and limit any damage from striking the back spring.

So NOW, this rascal is home and as I told him, that hopefully she'll stay longer now and I believe that she will. Thanks again Jack !

And yes...I know that this isn't Friday but, just making up for those 10 years she's been resting in Arizona !
