Collectible knives

Symbols of a region and a particular know-how, pocket knives are essential objects of traditional craftsmanship. From the Swiss army knife to the vine pruner's knife, from the Laguiole to the sailor's knife, each profession has its favorite knife, some of which they would never part with for anything in the world. Through unique photographs and detailed technical explanations about the origin of each knife, its manufacturing processes, and the place it occupies in our heritage, this book is an original journey into the heart of France and one of its artisanal treasures.
