They certainly are lovely, sleek, and elegant.More Pics from Paris!!
I don't know which to put in my pocket first!! The Navette has a handy corkscrew, which I will use a couple of times a week! The Yssingeaux has that "cobby" look that reminds me of soup bone, and was made of parts recycled from Thiers!!!
The Laguiole is a compact version, nice in the pocket! I feel like a kid at Christmas!!
Oh my!! Engraving, filework, faux tortoise which toy do I choose??
