Vintage `Laguiole` 440 Steel Folding Knife.

The laguiole knife is a traditional Occitan pocketknife, originally produced in the "knife city" of Thiers, source of 70% of France's cutting tool production, as well as the small village of Laguiole, both located in the Massif central region of France. Classic laguoile knives feature a slim, sinuous outline. They are about 12 cm long when closed, with a narrow, tapered blade of a semi-yataghan form, steel backspring (slipjoint) and a high quality of construction. The traditional laguiole utilizes a single blade, but sometimes a corkscrew or  other implement is added. This necessitates an even slimmer cutaway handle, the shape of which is fancifully known as the "lady's leg", the bolster at the base resembling a foot.

Length (fully open) : 21.5 cm
Length : (blade) : 10 cm
Length (closed) : 12 cm
