French knife of the day

[C-WADE7]

I agree with Doglegg I like the first handle, but the 3rd knife pattern.

Which blond horn is your favorite?
Aurillac, gutter and London by GR
Those are from the “grandfather” line, historical patterns, using original dies, carbon steel… made like 100 years ago.

I like everything about the model in the middle. The milky beige covers just looks so satisfying.
I wouldn't turn my nose up at any of those beautiful knives, let alone pick one.

I like the translucent look of that horn.

Knives-of-France....I am curious what you think about this knife marked BARGEON, THIERS It doesn't look like a typical French pattern to me Could it be a "Frankenknife" with a French master blade installed on a different frame? Also, the nail nick on the large blade is partially blocked by the small blade, rendering it practically useless for opening, but perhaps that's the reason for the Easy Open notch in the handle???

Yes, it’s odd
I don’t know that from Bargeon, French knives typically don’t have shields and the nail nick doesn’t fit
I’d say it’s not the original blade

[QTCut5]

Yes, that's what I think as well. Mahalo

FWIW--Whoever assembled this knife did a decent job; both blades walk and talk. Would make a solid EDC for someone who liked to carry this style knife

I would have never guessed French Q

Good thing I didn't post it in the Mystery Knife Game thread....I doubt anyone would've guessed it was French (because except for the master blade, it's probably not )

Fancy!!!

I agree it would s fancy looking. Strange how something as small as contrasting wood ends really dresses it up.
