Fantastic that Briar, fine colour and good thick slabs for grip. The end of the knife or tail looks unusual, sort of reminds me of what I think is called Pigeon Wing Laguiole (aile de pigeon?) which is an intricate version but it has that kind of segmented tail, very effective.

Thanks, Will

This isn’t an “aile de pigeon”, it’s called “queue de scorpion” - scorpion’s tail.
 
Thank you. I really like that. The handle looks very nice and comfortable. What is the cover material? Ironwood?

Just received this vintage piece. At least I think it's vintage, hopefully Âchillepattada Âchillepattada or Jolipapa Jolipapa can shed some light on it.

Unfortunately I think it's been cleaned, as the surface on the pile side of the blade is not perfectly flat, but rather uneven. The polishing scratches aren't parallel either. I tried my best to capture it in this image, but taking a good pic of a shiny surface is beyond my limited skills.

I like this guillochage. So different from what is currently in vogue.

This is the only laguiole I have where the blade actually rests on the backspring. I suppose I better heed the old piece of advice, "ressort silencieux, couteau deviendra vieux."

Guy Fayet was a cutler in Thiers who also bought 55 Sauzedde-Angéli and in 1973 Besset Jeune (whose horse head became the trade mark).

He was also a blade purveyor to other cutlers including Glandières. He died around '93 and the company was bought the following year and moved to the neighbouring dept, Lozère, but did not last long because the new owner died after an accident.

Thank you for the info Alain. Do you have any idea when my knife may have been made?
