I made the little stand from walnut, using an 1/8" chisel I carved in the slot for the knife to rest as you see it there.

Designed in France, made in Asia. They have a wise marketing strategy, including commercials. Not really traditional either.

Thanks, I wondered about that myself, so more of a keepsake for me due to my daughter trying to find something knifewise for me, of course I keep telling them to not attempt that, but there's no stopping them

Amazingly they have commercials especially aimed at the Father's day!

Not to draw this out any longer, but while it is a 'different' kind of knife, it's relegated to desk duty mainly letters, but it did take a decent edge but again just more for looks and sentiment than anything else...

Doesn’t appeal to the man who wants to see whether or not the knife cuts his steak well

For this week, lets go with my Chambriard and it is resting on a small magnifier that I made the handle for it, oak and walnut mix...

I've always wondered how ram's horn holds up as a scale material. Looks great!

I got a nightingale to go with my crossbow. Time to find a seahorse.

Do you think that sticky fly paper would help? I'm putting some up in the hope they'll buzz here

Perhaps...lol. I've found that in order to catch this type of fly you need fast reflexes and a well-funded PP account.

I have no experience in long time use of ram horn handles. My knife isn't a heavy user.
With the structure, the handle looks a bit fragile, like it would crumble to pieces. But I don't think it really would.

The only issue I have faced with horn in handles was when a knife handle got eaten by worms. I assume the maker didi not use enough chemicals on/in it or something similar

An older Laguiole, an Dassaud from the nineties.

 

[kamagong]

Thank you for that. One of the things I appreciate about laguioles is the sheer number of makers who have offered them over the years.
