That orange should make it a little easier to find if you venture outside tomorrow and for some reason drop it. 😁

Improved(?) and updated carry for Black Friday.

EDIT:
I discovered at 11:45 the can opener on my Böker Magnum Scout/Camp knife don't work worth a Grizzly Bear' hoot. (Staffette asked me to open a canna Green Beans for the lunch veggie.)
Therefore I benched/shelved/retired the Böker and put my black jigged plastic covers 1947-1954 Imperial Engineers knife in the game.

Those F-P Pockets are I find, a very useful size and being discrete lockback is an added bonus. Bigger Lags, 12 13cm I find just too big for the pocket. Fontenille-Pataud has its detractors but I've always found them to have superb build-quality and very good customer service, pleases me anyway.

As for speaking French...I can read it more or less fluently, speak it hardly anymore and can understand spoken French depending....If I go to Paris it's really hard especially with young people but go to the South or Belgium and I don't seem to have these problems, Parisians :eek:o_O🤣 But then, people going to New York or London could have problems understanding the English there:cool:

Ask @Jolipapa about the 'correct' pronunciation of Laguiole...there's controversy about it even in France I understand....;)

Will, I prefer the pronunciation of Laguiole like in the South of France. It sounds to me like ... Lay-ole
Most in France however pronounce it slightly differently with a 'g' and 'u' in there (which it has in the spelling) and sounds to me kind of like ... Leg-uole
Neither way I say it sounds like French LOL, as I am from the deep South part of the U.S. with our own, often quirky way of speaking.

Somebody posted a clip of people living in Laguiole disagreeing on the pronunciation of Laguiole.
Sufficient for the day so far:

I always forget how large the 86s are 😲

But the 86 is the little one! 🤣

Honestly, for me the 86 is about as small as I want to go for a primary knife - much smaller than that, and it's not as useful for slicing apples or cutting sandwiches in half, etc. I know most traditional knives are smaller than that (and I own and like a bunch of traditionals that are smaller than that), but I like to have a blade that's big enough for some food prep, too. The smaller knives are usually secondary for me.
