I bought this one on eBay. Unfortunately I’m afraid that it is one made after Angel Navarro’s death, when his daughter had taken over. Scales are made of real ivory.

How has the ivory held up? I'm seriously considering a french knife in mammoth ivory (probably from FP) but here conflicting things about its durability.

I picked this one up in 1983 at Le Bon Marché in Paris. It's been around the world at least once.

Hoe long have you had the FP mate? She's a beauty

I'm guessing I've had it just a few short months. I was randomly looking for an imported corkscrew for my daughter's new in-laws for Christmas, and found this.

How does it handle? Is the blade similar to their laguiole or is it a bit beefier? What's the blade thickness?

Ok, we are not Monday but I'm not sure it will be available next monday.
It's just to help, not mine and not for me. On the french forum this knife is for sell. If you are interested I can buy it for you .
It's a Lombard by Adrien Giovaninetti with a white acrylic handle.

Maybe it's my French heritage but I can't seem to find a french knife I don't love. That's a beauty mate!
