I love the grain of that pistachio handle Ed! I don't have any knives with that wood yet but seeing yours makes it very tempting to get one!I hope this is okay with the OP but I'd like to post a non-French traditional along with a French traditional. The two knives are a French Laguiole Honoré Duran and our 2020 BF knife an Italian manufactured Swayback by Viper. The two just seem to meld together. The coloring of the pistachio wood covers of the Laguiole and the rams horn of the Swayback Viper are well matched as well as the lines of both frames. Anyway, I think they look good together and are a good fit with each other.
