Wrapping up my French/Le Thiers themed week with another Forge de Laguiole knife inspired by the work of French graffiti artist Seize Happywallmaker.
For anyone interested, these are part of a four knife series called “Sublimation Street Art”. This particular version is titled the “Antares”.
I’ve always been intrigued with graffiti, and when I stumbled upon these the designs and colors took me back to the 80’s for some reason. Fond memories and good times. What can I say, the knives just put a smile on my face.
I’m always debating whether or not I’ll buy the other two to complete the set. I don’t carry them often, but on the other hand my clinical OCD is now stuck in a state of perpetual itchiness (had to look that one up to see if it was an actual word. Color me surprised…..it is). It’s a battle of meds vs instinct. To date, the meds seem to have the upper hand….but even without OCD we all know how compelling and persistent that damn itch can be. Odds are even money at the moment, according to my bookie.
Anyway, another trip down the dark tracks with this rambling post. But if I haven’t lost you yet, let me offer a sincere thanks to all the well-wishers regarding my upcoming hip replacement. Should be a breeze, but my coin is still on Chazzy to post first on Wednesday.
Geez. Eff me with dumb stick….I about signed off without posting a pic of the knife.
Wow.
