Thank You to those that helped with the knife. I could read very little of the etching on the blade. light angle helps a lot. I now see a six sided symbol Loueurs De France B.T. P. When i work on the blade the etch will be history.

Hi,
So, for the History :)

"Loueurs de France BTP était une filiale du Groupe Loxam. Cette filiale proposait une gamme généraliste de matériels pour le particulier et le professionnel."

"Loueurs De France B.T. P" is a branch of Loxam which rents equipments in the construction field for individuals and pro.

Au Nain is an old name (1885), but I thought they were specialized in fixed professionnal cutlery for butchers and bistrots. I'm curious to see this marvel :)

I e-mailed you, but Charlie beat me to it, I see.
Only that site, as far as I can find for folders. Kitchen stuff from some of our domestic dealers.
 
In the official site, aunain.fr , no mention of folders, but gourmet-web is listed as an official dealer. I can contact them but mills are closed until wednesday. The pin pattern 1/2/2 is quite usual for a Pradel and you find it by other makers but I understand, you're interested in the unique small 7,5cm size.

Seems bizarre the official site doesn't mention folders. Thanks for the link.
Yes, I think we still have the law against carrying an iron bar or other dangerous weapon such as a knife with a blade over 3" long with the unlawful intent of using against another.

ps Imho the german site has been granted the use of the Nain logo (without triangle and words) and the knives are assembled by an external folder specialist from fournitures - no other link with le Nain. The 7,5cm size is very rare.

Thanks for the detective work, Jolipapa. They look like good knives, but it's always a shame to see grand old logos sold into prostitution.
The site responded to my question quickly: no longer shipping to USA because of difficulty getting flights. Maybe I'll ask them to put it on a boat (why not, it might amuse someone).

Merci Vince,

Nice Laguiole you have, beautiful flow of the lines, very elegant.

No parade this year for the fête nationale. It won't stop people from dancing tonight. It makes me think i've to prepare the next shutdown. Keep safe.

Dan.
