In German, the wood of the elm is called "Rüster". Not Riester, because no pension and not Trester, because without alcohol. But very exclusive, because a tiny pest is working to eradicate the tree. The "elm splint beetle" spreads a fungus, not a pilsner, that is steadily decimating the population of the pretty tree within Europe. The shepherd's cross is inlaid with pins in the light wood with fine rings. Wood is a natural material whose appearance varies. This does not entitle to complaint. sharp store, however, offers to send an inventory of the offered specimens on request.
The LUXE series of FORGE DE LAGUIOLE stands for an exceptionally fine workmanship by hand. And always by the hand of a best. Each folding knife is made from A to Z by the same master craftsman. The guillochage is filed to the back of the blade in the goldsmith's manner. T12 is the most used stainless steel of the French manufactory, which receives meter-long strips from Bonpertius for this purpose.
A smooth cut with a sharp blade keeps the aromatic juices in the vegetables, fish and meat. Should your folding knife be taken out to the restaurant. Watch out for phylloxera there. Hans Moser claimed to have been one in a former life. Not that you are killing a comedy legend out of fear of insects. Jean Julier's mother had a milk store on the Naschmarkt in Vienna.
Because that was the real name of the wonderful folk actor Hans Moser. And not the other way around.
