Thanks, and thanks for the idea!

Great show of French knives, Ray.
I have three.
First is a multi-tool similar to your #6 in 3rd post.
I tried to use one of those that the spring had broken on; and the latch was missing. It took one huge chunk of the flesh out of the area between my index finger and thumb.

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.
The three spring looks like a hand full.
