Another "Saint-Amans-des-Cots" by Benoît Salesses. This one has mammoth scales and brass central bolsters.

A modern version of French Ivory????

Kind of, though at the beginning French ivory incorporated some ivory dust. Used by very few makers on old patterns. Could not find where does it come from. Easier and less breakable in use than galalith.

I'm going to prepare the terrain for something very special......
My first knife made by Robert Beillonnet. A 13 cm Laguiole "deux pièces" with a corkscrew. I bought it "used" from a French collector last February. The knife dates back to 2013 and the scales are made from ivory.

Galalith was based on milk casein and was a good replacement for Ivory and bone they were similar in many points, except resistance to heat.

It's been a good long while since I posted in this thread. Here is my Le Cinq Coqs. Unfortunately the snacks pictured are not French patisserie.

That is really nice. Good design, nice dark ebony, great filework. What is the closed length?

Thank you! It is my most elegant knife and one of my favorites. It is about 4 inches closed to about 4 1/4 if you count the cox comb of the lock back.

Another one from "MD Coutelier", a "London" with elm burl scales.
