I was very, very lucky to score this one a few weeks back! A 12cm Laguiole by one of the most renowned French knifemakers, Robert Beillonet, twice MOF. The blade is RWL34, scales are made of aged ivory.

Magnificent! I can see why he is a two-time MOF.

Happy French Friday. Carrying a Beech handle no.8 today. It came with a red leather lanyard. After a day of carry, the lanyard was a no go for me. Replaced the lanyard with a paracord lanyard. This is my first time tieing a knife lanyard.

Admire the way he has given the steel an agéd look to compliment the antique Ivory. Complex knife and workmanship

Thanks, Will

Like this one! So much so that I ordered one in Horn, not from you hélas! As I live in the EU and sources are nearer but I'm glad that you can promote French cutlery for US fans

That Agenais is well used. Looks like it was someone's daily companion.

I am sure it was hundred and something years ago. I won this one at an auction. It is very old, probably end of 19th beginning of 20th century. Another member of the forum told me that is Rousselon Freres folder. Their two big brands were Dumas 32, and Damas 82.
