TimeOut

I was so impressed by Jim14’s knife (I own a number of tool knives boating, hiking etc but I’m not a “collector”) that I looked up the company he mentioned (Direware) and was so impressed that I picked this one up for no reason other than I just had to ha...

I got this old boy from Corsica. ...

I'm not in knives, can you please explain me what the notches on the top are for?

I really hope to be able to visit his atelier and try to order one at some point Pic from IG ...

I have always been attracted to collecting and when I started working in the Fulton Fish Market in the 90's, I needed to carry a pocket knife to open boxes, cut straps, etc. I also had to use knives to fillet fish of course. At one point, I had a "folder"...  

I have training (see below) the flipper is smooth but the knife is heavy. Any knife or sharp instrument can be weaponized but this would not be a first choice but a lot better than nothing.
