Last weekend was the "Salon de la Durolle" knife show in La-Monnerie-le-Montel, a small town a few miles east of Thiers. I was there for five days and I had lend a helping hand to the organisers, the "Vieilles Lames" association.

Two of my close friends (one French, the other American) are returning to live outside Eymet and I am looking forward to visiting them next year. Nontron is not far so I expect I will be seeing that factory then!

Un "Suisse" Thiernois, new old stock. Carbon steel, faux-stag. Nice fit & finish for the price I paid. (Most of the SAK imitations from Thiers are crudely made)

Adrien sounds almost Italian, but originally from Paris, now lives and works in Thiers - one of his is a must soon, I hope

Where can one purchase put cerviere knives?

 

[Will Power]

Can't discuss that as mine was a present.

Where can one purchase put cerviere knives?

At the "Vieilles Lames" in La-Monnerie-le-Montel. I don't know if they ship into Europe and the US of A. But if you really want one I could buy one for you in May 2025 at Coutellia and mail it to you.

Another folder I brought from La-Monnerie-le-Montel. A "Löfgren", Jérôme Latreille had started for me when I visited with him last August. This knife was created by Jérôme as a tribute to the famous Swedish knifemakers Claes and Thomas Löfgren, who are father and son.

Stephane with the killer Olive wood today! It's a wonderful little Le Theirs in stainless. Perfect fit, finish and smooth snappy action!

It's going to be difficult to give this away. I picked it out as a birthday gift for someone.

An "Alpin" from MCThiers. The knife was made by Benjamin Giraud, who is in charge of the workshop of the "Musée de la Coutellerie".
