I would guess that Charlie discussed the knife with Bill bumper to bumper before it was agreed upon to be built....

There are benefits and drawbacks to using a scanner, JP, but I like the idea!!Nice to see those two rare birds!(I propose a scannerthon on the forum to get better pictures.
They do weigh a bit more than the average French knives!! A place for both!! I should do a comparison!!
A bit heavy but really the perfect size
Definitely a GREAT knife !

The shield certainly is big, bold, and decisively garish but man, is it classy! It's a hefty knife too (also falling into the whole "big, bold, beautiful" category).

I hope you find one (at a reasonable price) - I don't think you will be disappointed. I find it to be one of Charlie's best.

I compared the weights of a Black Jack and Forge de Laguiole!
Both have wood handles, and two bolsters. The Black is broader, but the F-d-L is longer, 3 7/8" vs. 4 3/8" respectively!
The Black Jack weighs 4.00 grams.
The Forge de Laguiole, 2.66 grams!!
Quite a difference in weight and attitude!!
You could choose one for the day depending on how you feel that morning!!
