Something I've never seen before!

Thanks for the pics, Dave. I think I remember you posting this knife and trying to find out about it. I love a mystery. Anyway, what a neat bit if fitting it is with all the nicks set just right. Whoever put that one together knew what they were doing, eh?

These guys have been around a long time. I wonder if the Bassereau knife was made for them to retail.

I have a Fallkniven TK4 which has a nail nick on both sides. It's rather nice as I'm left handed.

Yeah, it's a quality bit of kit, very nice user. I'd love to find out more about it, maybe one day?

That looks a distinct possibility! Thanks David.

Nice one Dave. I'd say almost certainly French based on the style of the can/bottle opener. Perhaps publicity for a wine company? Just a hypothesis.

That's worth checking on, for sure. It was (and maybe still is) quite common for companies like Moet & Chandon to have them as promo items.

I'm spoilt for choice now.

Thanks Steve.
