Forge De Laguiole, a French firm that makes these types of knives, and the style seems soo cool... I have been wanting one and will likely fill my desire. The style is said to be of slipjoint design, and itself likely being something derived from the Spanish Navaja (just like our Toothpicks are likely much derived from). The one I am looking to get has Ebony handles, a file/engraved back spring, and a forged T12 stainless blade. The thing seems to ooze quality from all the pics and readings about them. Anyhow... not like me to include foreign made knives.. but it is a traditional pocket knife... and it is not chinese, which may be fine for others to own... but just ain't for me. Anyhow... I believe it would make a nice addition to my collection... that is, if they are all that they seem touted to be in terms of overall quailty. Anybody here have experience with this firm's products? Thanks in advance
