She is made by a young cutler near Thiers, Adrien Giovaninetti (you can google it), the name is Lombard, from the village where he lives. 12C27, 11,5cm, she's a terrific slicer, perfect for salami or Bayonne ham. This one is n°10 of 55 in rosewood, a SFO for a French knife forum, but she exists in other woods or horn, with or without a corkscrew. Still very new to me she seems very good in the hand.
I look forward to more pictures and reports as it sees some use and pocket time. I will look it up. Thanks again.

I haven't carried this one in a while, it was my first four blade congress and the first thing I ever bought on the exchange. It's quite a work horse and I love the deep canyon jigged bone.
I have quite a few congress knives now and something struck me for the first time the other day; boker, henkles, hen and rooster, moore maker, rough rider and such all have their blades in the arrangement above. As in, I hold the covers in your right hand and open the main (which is behind the secondary) with your left thumbnail - however, GEC is the only maker which does this in reverse. Isn't that odd?

Back home yesterday, had an advice for a parcel waiting for me at the PO.
Something about that pic makes me smile
:thumbup: :thumbup:Thanks, Jack.
:thumbup:That's a seriously salutary selection, Jack! :thumbup: Did that knife have any influence on your acquisition of the A. Wright buffalo lambsfoot that's taken up nearly permanent residence in your pockets recently??
The Rodgers is actually a very recent acquisition :thumbup:Thanks! I find the edges on the Machine Era Brass fairly sharp, but it's very pocketable.
Thanks, Paul. It has sparked a bit of fever for the stockman pattern in me.That's a SWEET Winchester Kevin:thumbup:
Hi all,
I'm new to the forums and new to traditional knives as well. But for sure I've been bitten by the bug. In a recent buying frenzy I picked up this little guy. A #25 clip point in cocobolo. Originally I was going to let it sit in the tube, but I'm definitely more of a user than a collector, and it's just too pretty to let it sit.
