Anybody upgraded their laptop and have an old one lying around unused that's capable of running Windows 11? Now that Microsoft has ended their support of Windows 10, I'm in need. I have a Movado watch and plenty of knives to trade. Let's figure out a deal that will make both parties happy!

Anyone collecting French-made knives?
I have available my Fontenille-Pataud Corsican Vendetta knife, in fragrant Juniper from the legendary French artisanal cutlers, Fontenille-Pataud. You can read all about it on their website here: https://www.fontenille-pataud.com/e...can-vendetta-traditional-range-juniper.html#/
Previous owner got this knife at an estate sale, and it's an absolutely beautiful piece. That said, it is not without some flaws. The most prominent flaw is that when the previous owner tried to sharpen it, he/she took off a little bit of the ricasso (worse on one side than the other. Also, there is a very small amount of gapping where wood meets metal. The blade centering is almost dead on, which is (in my experience) rare for these guys. The spring has F-P’s characteristic hand-filed guillochage, and that shape on the mouche is the island of Corsica itself. In case you’re wondering, the design is a collaboration between F-P and the Zuria brothers, knife-designers in Corsica, but the knife itself is a true Fontenille-Pataud, made in their workshop in Thiers. I have the box and papers.
