WillWill Power , that Broom wood you posted is calling to me. Right size, 10.5cm I believe, reasonably priced and looks good. It looks more practical than the capuchadou I’ve been lusting over. For knife content, my trusty no. 8.View attachment 2327939

!!!
The wooden one is functional, good quality but not "polished" in finish, everything works and the blade is designed so that it opens easily but feels nearly like it has a lock when you try to close it (possibly the corkscrew tool makes the backspring shorter and overall stiffer in action on this model). It is the basic model and cheap for what you get on it. The wood looks a lot nicer than I expected. Cuts well
I am impressed that they manage to fit the blade and the awl next to each other without them rubbing (the blade is not centered so as to allow space for the awl)
I am carrying this reborn Laguiole today, in honor of my youngest son's birthday!
He is 42, with two red-haired boys 2 and 6!!
The old Rossignol was refurbished and handled by Jerome Latreille, and gifted to me from Jean-Marc for MY birthday 2 weeks ago!!
Thanks
The big chunk of Navajo Turquoise is protection and luck for all of us!!View attachment 2338370View attachment 2338371
At 11cm, I find it very good!!

The mammoth molar one has a much more "polished" feel to it and much easier action. They put a video of it on their facebook page a few weeks ago. Definitely eye candy, which is the reason you will get these handle material really. We had a long exchange of emails on what I wanted, selection of materials, scrolling and so on.
