Your recent purchases

Dammit. Now I have to find an aged ebony handled one. SZ is bad for the wallet.

/\ Haha! They are actually cheap in France. If you want I'll bring you one when I go for the men's in June.

Mofiya, mine does close - hence why it's good for picnics.

Haven't bought much clothes recently, but my better half recently gave me a beautiful Laguiole Guilloché folding knife with corkscrew, perfect for lazy picnics. Sitting here on a vintage wool kimono fabric pocket square.

ok where to i find one of these... awesome knife

[sinnedk]

Thanks all. It's a nice bag.

nice moo

^ There are quite a few Laguiole makers around, some good and some not so good. Mine's from Fontenille Pataud, pretty basic but they do some models in exotic materials like fossilized mammoth ivory with folded damascus blades if that's your thing.

Ha! I got one in Normandy this January exactly for that reason (also good for opening letters)!

Haha, lucky coincidence! And another use I hadn't thought of

Beautiful, but no corkscrew?!?!

[Crowzer]

I use them for special occasion.

[sinnedk]

what kinds of occasions? i am curious as to when one would use a set of folding knives.

[t-bone]

They're steak knives... so, on the occasion of serving steak?

Edit: Also this thread has prompted me to finally start searching for a replacement to the Laguiole waiter's corkscrew i bought in Paris 7 years ago that turned out to be not-very-high-quality...

Like Christmas or Birthday, when I want to prepare a beautiful table.

Finally found it at a reasonable price. Sorry for the stock pic.



Isaac Reina double vegetable tanned calf weekender in black. Closure system is amazing. Can't wait to use it for the rest of my life.

CCP OM/2553B- ror-edge is amazing - a big thank you to everyone that helped out with sizing

Haven't thought of that. In America, we are not allowed to drink alcohol while picnicking! God forbid we offend our Puritan sensibilities. Think about the children!!!!

It's a hit/miss since they are branding the shit out of it. I just saw this one in a shop window and liked it.
