this is a new one but this type of knife exists since longer than the opinel

this is the oldest knife of France whose origins go up with the XVº century.

Welcome to AAPK Stan.

Is there a web site where a person can buy one of those knives?

Thanks,
Dale

World Knives has some, including the navette. They are forged and the wood is air dried for five years.
