Beautiful handle material is even more effective without bolsters, without metal attachment pieces, without bolsters, i.e. PLEIN MANCHE. This results in a lower overall weight, but also less protection in case the pocket knife falls on a hard surface.
In German, the wood of the elm is called "Rüster". Not Riester, because no annuity, 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 the customer to make a complaint. sharp shop, however, offers to send an inventory of the offered specimens on request. Elm wood PLEIN MANCHE is a special model of which only very few copies were produced.
The LUXE series of FORGE DE LAGUIOLE stands for exceptionally fine workmanship by hand. And always by the hand of one of the best. Each folding knife is crafted from A to Z by the same master craftsman. The guillochage is filed down to the back of the blade in the manner of a goldsmith. T12 is the stainless steel most often used by the French manufacturer, who receives metre-long strips of it from Bonpertius.
A smooth cut with a sharp blade ensures that the aromatic juices remain in the vegetables, fish and meat. Should your folding knife be taken out to a restaurant. Watch out for phylloxera there. Hans Moser claimed to have been one in a former life. Not that you're killing a comedy legend out of fear of insects. Jean Julier's mother had a milk shop on the Naschmarkt in Vienna.
Because that was the real name of the wonderful folk actor Hans Moser. And not the other way round.
