Thank you, Ray.
The old French knife is just shy of 4" closed. Too bad it was so abused. All the carbon steel is pitted, unfortunately.
The coarseness gives it its own character, I think.

For a knife that I think is more than 150 years old I think it has survived rather admirably!

Thank you Ray, in view of that it has survived quite well.

Nice looking French knives, Dimitri.
