You'd love this Rumilly. Named from the town in the Alps it originated. Saw and blade (clip or sheepsfoot) lock on a single spring, unlocking by opening the closed element.

Perfect knife for walking in the foothills!! Saw a hiking stick to length, then clean it up with the blade!!:)
Or cut the head off a trout, and fillet it for lunch!!:eek:
Both useful and beautiful!!:thumbsup:

You clearly see his purpose! It had to be tough, because expensive and made for mountaineers and shepherds who every year left the farms on the st Urbain's day, may 25th, and moved the cattle to the alpages high in the mountains. Sawing, eating, preparing abondance, reblochon, beaufort and all the alpine cheeses and taking care of the cattle during the long month of isolation till autumn.

Please excuse this non-French interpretation of the Rumilly!! I just thought it striking that they both may have been intended for similar purposes! Empire, Winsted Ct. Made ca.1900 - 1920.EmpireSawTrapper.jpg
