Perhaps! He seems to be well enough known in France, though less so here on the other side of the Pond. Monsieur Dauvillaire used to make knives for Laguiole en Aubrac, though he struck out on his own years back. I'm glad he did, he does wonderful work and should enjoy the fruits of his labors.

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 job

It has a fairly light pull, around a 5, but has a really profound snap on open..... Feels very secure for a slip joint. Blade is approximately 10cm of 12C27 and that's pretty much all I know!

Here it is next to a 15. It's certainly not small!

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.

I don't know them, but the Teymen brothers looks to have a good réputation regarding the finitions.

Coutellerie artisanale Les Frères Teymen

Depuis 1980, la coutellerie est une vocation, la voix artisanale que nous avons suivie tout naturellement. Nous avons grandi au cœur des maîtres forgerons et couteliers du bassin thiernois.

www.freres-teymen.com

The manufacture is located at Thiers.
The knives are mid-tech (means half industrial, half manual, is that correct ?).

At Thiers, this is a classic process, i understand* there are many companies with one speciality : furniture, cut, coating, grind, steel hardening, laser marking...

And many cutlery as Teymen benefit the use of these companies to create and mount their knives in their workshop.
It allow to have knives with regular hardening for exemple as one of these companies is expert in the process,...

Except for limited édition that are maybe entirely made as custom models.

* I am not specialist at all, this is what i read and understand.
