New slipjoint

I've been wanting one of these for quite some time.  Lee Valley Tools changed companies on this
particular knife and decided to pick one up.  Lee Valley, about an hour from my home this is a
great store with some really neat items.  http://www.leevalley.com/en/home.aspx

That looks like a good one Sean.   I love my Laguiole knife, it's just a shame it's a touch to big for UK EDC or I'd carry it far more.  

[Sean]

Thanks guys for your replies on it.    Gareth, which Laguiole do you have, by what company do you know?
Can you post a picture of it?

That's a lovely filework pattern. Shame they're too big for our pockets

It's not to hand ATM but I'll dig it out in the morning and take a snap.  There are dozens of different companies making them (or so it seems) and most of them are much the same quality.  The only thing I made sure mine had was a 12C27 blade like yours, it's always a good indicator of quality AFAIK.

[Sean]

thanks again, looking forward to seeing a pic or two.

Nuphoria,  this one is a bit big for pocket carry so will sheath it.  I think the blade is about 3 1/2 inches
or so, so it's not a really big folder.

Nice one Sean!!!!

[Sean]

Thanks David.

Here we are Sean.  I picked this up a few years ago while on holiday in the east of France.









I really like the very simple dark wood scales and lack of rear bolster, not a standard look for a laguiole style knife, but appeals to my love of things plain and functional.

Gareth,  very nice knife, thanks for posting some pictures of it.  I've always liked the way the French make
a knife, Laguiole, Opinel, etc.  That looks to be some great wood on yours.   
Have you seen this website?  There are some lovely knives on here.    http://www.cutlerytogo.com/

Well I just spend a happy few minutes looking a that site.  Luckily the only thing I spent was time, otherwise my bank account would be empty.
