My understanding is that this French company makes top quality tools, but I've never tried one.

Has anyone got experience with their round knives? While many of their tools are very expensive, their knives are pretty reasonable at around $90. I'm mostly happy with my old round knife, but I don't like some things about it and a custom is not feasible right now.

Tell me your experience with these knives, or the brand in general.
 
I have one of their skivving knives. I don't particularly like it. I don't use it very often. Decent enough quality seems like and carbon steel which you like. I bought it years ago from Sigel leather when they were still around.
 
What do you dislike about it?

The things I like about the knife is that it looks to be very thin stock, and the scallop on the spine look comfortable.

I'll dig up a pic.
 
Here's one angle.

Meh I just hosted one, not sure why they wouldn't display.

The pricking irons are something like $250, I figure the knife is well priced, but maybe the knife sucks...
 
Nice enough tool but I bet it won't out cut what you got already. My skivver knife from them works good its just I like my round knife beter for skivving.
