BOOK - Collector's Knives

Symbols of a region and of particular know-how, pocket knives are essential objects of traditional craftsmanship. From the Swiss army knife to the winegrower's billhook, from the Laguiole to the sailor's knife, each trade has its favorite knife, some of which would not part for the world. Through unique photographs and detailed technical explanations on the origin of each knife, its manufacturing processes and the place it occupies in our heritage, this book is an original journey to the heart of France and one of its artisanal treasures.
