I'm French so it's no surprise that I own a Le Francais and L-08 Unfortunately I don't have a "Le Thiers". Maybe one day. But I do have a Chambriard Juniper Compagnon - sooo nice!
I know Perceval is located in Thiers - but to carry the name and to put the "Thiers" logo on a knife, a maker needs to follow procedures and standards. I also think the final product needs to be approved.
glad you also enjoy French cutlery
Just saw this after my reply above. Very nice!
I aways hated that ring and now you solved that problem for me!
