Hello ,

I have to thank Les Vieilles Lames association for it helps . They use old parts to rebuilt knives like they were in the past. So it was the right place to find some historical french knives. It's a pitty to see that so few knife-makers use these shapes today .
Here you will find their names :

Only two are "modern" by their fabrication , the Aurillac by Pierre Yves Joyeux ( http://atelierlaclefdeschamps.fr/ ) and Le Puy Cervier by Les Vieilles Lames . This last one is a big navette . We have already talk about it : https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/french-regional-knives.1651680/page-15#post-19437323

GrandPa's Opi. It has cut a lot of meat! I don't know what the rings do mean exactly. Maybe the months spent at the sanatorium.

Here’s my fathers opi. He didn’t mind patina. It has become quite wonky as the wood has shrunk, but I use it for food and bread cutting.

@Charlie : I just added the cornflower, a brother in arms of your poppy.
It's a pity most of theses patterns are falling into oblivion, especially Gouttière (gutter) and Dungeon.

Parapluie and Sabot.

Grandma used to say that when both extremities are protected you can go safely!

nice Charlie! what is that top blonde one?

This is a Puy Cevier (from the mountain's name), a navette made by the Vieilles Lames. Puy is the name given to the mountains in Central France, Cervier the old name for wolf (loup).

The other French Connexion....

Knives are addictives too... Marcel Bozuffi and Fernando Rey, two wonderful actors!

A.L. Opis are great workhorses!

I believe it was in The French Conection 2 that Fernando was opening an oyster with an Opinel. A humble knife for a very rich dealer!

JP, Is the cornflower a tribute to those fallen who protected France??
