Not exactly the same, but nice knives. I'll order a few later.

I am. Send me an email at mickeybeep@aol.com

It's a hit/miss proposition.
I have had blades from the same maker be so far off as to be unusable.
It's possible the dealer would let you return it if it doesn't work.

There are some French catalogs on billdeshivs.com
They were probably not of much interest to US importers before the ban. Seems most have come in since the 1970s, as they were still legal to swell in France.

Oh- I forgot. I did a compete rebuild and rehandle of a Hubertus lever lock!
I thought that list looked light!

Today I made a spring for an 8" coil spring stiletto, Repaired the sear on an 11" Latama, repaired another 11" Latama with bent backspring, made safety cap, sear adjustment, worked on a couple of personal knife projects, did billing, made dinner. Not necessarily in that order.
The three knife jobs ...
