    My wife bought me one about 17 years ago in Provence. It went missing for almost a year. Then, while cleaning the roof gutters I found it inside the gutter. No rust anywhere and the wood handle was faded, but in good shape. I washed it, gave the handle a good coat of oil olive and it’s like new.

    As a collector of early case xx and Henry knives I'm very impressed with this manufacturer and would love to have one of these beautiful works of art.

    I absolutely love this show. I find it so relaxing as well as informative.

    Good video. but as a knifemaker it bothered me that you did not explain tempering correctly. There is hardening heat treating = higher heat with quick oil or water quench to make the metal hard. Then separately there is tempering which is somewhat lower heat and then air dried - this is for relieving the built up stress and adding some flexibility/elasticity to the metal.

    This process shares more common ground with making a croissant then a regular knife, interesting.

    That’s a beautiful knife. Now I want one.

    Great video as always thanks for sharing! However I think it may have been produced some time ago, as the thick black horn- rimmed glasses worn by the operators kind of gives it away. However, its still interesting to see cutlers at work in the " old manner", so to speak. Thanks again for sharing!

    "this manufacturer handcrafts each component of his knives" that's some great narration to have over a set of laser cut springs.

    I have one and I like it. I use it as an everyday carry.

    Several things about the forging, grinding, heat treatment, and etching processes were incorrectly explained.
