Charlie it's African warthog tusk.

Thanks, Dwight!! Here is a Warthog keychain fob by Arno Bernard (knifemaker from South Africa!). Got it when I met him at Oregon.
Your knife must represent a large Warthog!!
Not the most beautiful critter in the world!!

That is beautiful Charlie!

Hi everyone. My first post in this thread (hopefully not my last). I like French knives, of which I don't have many, but I'd like to share them. I'm not good at pics, but here goes my Rossignol.

Laguioles again. Forge de Laguiole keeping company to the Rossignol, and a detail of the artwork and the "mouche".

I'm sorry. For some reason the post got duplicated. I wouldn't know how to eliminate one of them. Any help will be appreciated.

One more Laguiole, and the last one because three is all I've got. R. David this time.

Laguiole Droit!! (Straight Laguiole)
Perhaps one of our French Historian Friends can correct me if I am wrong?? This style preceded the more gracefully curved Laguiole, and is still occasionally produced!

Looks like your picture didn't show up, JP??

Is it better now?

According to the best source (C. Lemasson), I can reasonably approve.

Thanks for the review, JP!! Where would we be without our keepers of
"connaissance des choses Francais"!!

Wichard sailor's knife. Probably dated 1970's.

8 am and still no light to speak of.
I'll bet Mary Poppins carried one of these tucked in her stocking-top.

Two versions of le Capuchadou, from FP!
Jerome vying for exposure!! Deserves it!!

Can't live with it; can't live without it!!)
