Really glad you got what you wanted and they will appreciate in value .
Downside is you will want more to go with it . :)

Something similar to this jigged bone , but a bit lighter.
Never seen one exactly like the movie one ,always looks thicker aswell in close ups than my old german shellpullers .

Re: Old French Knife

Luke
This was probably made in chateraullt France ,and I have seen a few different types go for big bucks ,but this is one I would have bought as it was reasonable ,but seller wouldnt post to UK as its a risk .
Its just quality ,built like a tank and probably over 150 years old .
