“No hillman would think of giving a steel blade to a friend – such a gift is sure to severe their friendship. Whenever a knife changes hands, it must been paid for, even if the sum is merely nominal. I have seen…"

French Knives : Perceval Le Français

I think it should be a must have for Luca and other "wood men"... and "wood women" as well.… French Knives : Fontenille-Pataud
Posted on June 24, 2011 at 11:17 12 Comments 3 Likes
In my opinion, Fontenille-Pataud makes the most beautiful European (not only French) production knives.
I'm fond of their skills.
They have Laguioles...…

Hello my friends, just a quick post to say thanks a lot to all of you for your kind birthday wishes. I hope all is well with each of you and your families.
I realize that I have been absent of our discussions for a while. I have got a lot of information, new pictures and comments for you on my hard disk. I hope I’ll find the time to post this next month.
Today, I only show you my birthday gift.
This very elegant pocket knife (or personal steak knife, though you must not eat steaks) is definitely not an American style of blade : an unmistakably Japanese Higonokami folding knife, whose design dates back over 150 years.
The Kai [Kershaw] Shun Higo steak knife comes with a well made leather sheath and a black lacquer presentation box.
It features ebony-black pakkawood (WOOD, Luca!) handle, with brass end caps and a decorative brass emblem.
The Shun trademark is etched on the blade.
The VG10 "Super Steel" blade is 3-1/2 inches long. Knife is 4-3/4 inches when closed and overall 7-3/4" in length.
The slender locking blade opens one-handed with a traditional lever-action of antique design and blocks firmly open with a simple liner lock.
The razor edge provides the cleanest cut possible.
