We say often that FRANCE is a country rich in cheeses!! Each region as his cheese.It is the same,with pocket folding knives.Is it for to cut each cheese with the appropriate knive?Perhaps!

No story relate that!But we can dream!!

The french cutlery industry is one of best! Each region is represented by one or several folding pocket knives.Some are very ancient,empty of story or customs.The other are contemporary,filling up a hole on french map of knives.These last are dreamed up by craftmen,showing the dynamism of th french cutlry.It's very important in front of imported production who copy our heritage often indifferently!!!

The story of the french knife shows that the making was always by craftmen until the end of the 19°century.After,it was the industrial making,with a rapid expansion!

So,we have ,like for the laguiole knives, a classification in accordance with the fabrication: - handcraftmade,made by one Master craftman.

                                                                                                                                  -manufactured,made by several people,often with the assistance of small makers for different pieces.
