The otf knife with the gold sticker was retailed by Enee&Peylaire .I have 2 different types but this one with flared bolster is quite scarce .

I got it from France a few years back along with the smaller spanish otf which I was told was made by" Bontgen and Sabine" ,for sale in the German market ,by a good source here .These are well made otfs,much better in construction than my hellraiser ,just wish they had better scale material .

Yes as you say the superoto was made by Douris Chastel and just marked with the MF logo ,seen other retailers names on these as well .

Love the silver bullet Bargeon you posted as well ,you have a great collection my friend .If I lived in France I would be poor by now as I love many knives made in your country .

Very desirable blades, Ian and Frenchi. None of my OTF knives are remotely as cool.

Thank you Ian for all this information, your otf Enee&Peylaire are incredible and splendid, it's the first time I've seen them :shock:
Were they made in France?
Yes I love the Bargeon silver bullet, I found another one in the meantime with the France stamp (you can see it in the photo below), France stamp is for import?
Yes, there was a golden age of automatic knives in France at a time just like in Italy.

More great knives . 8)

I am really drawn to the 13 inch vendetta corsa you posted with the "Ajaccio" etch and "4 " stamp making it a new one to my eyes .It looks an early one for a vendetta knife .I love these etched knives .

Then theres the 13 " Rostfrei import knife which again is a very desirable and beautifully built knife in a rare size .,They are comparable to the highest quality knives made nowadays imho .I only have a smaller knife with this mark but I treasure it .

I think you have one to many" Silver bullets" and you should send one over to me here in England to look after :D
It may be earlier than the last silver bullet you posted with the France stamp but I am no expert .

I assume the otfs I posted are french but I dont really know for sure ,the gold stickers say "Flash 07 Creation E.R France "but I cant find any info on them ..They are good lookers but not the best in build quality with the plastic scales ,I am sure one will turn up your side of the channel my freind .

Thanks for posting these Frenchie ,you have a fantastic collection .that is right up my collecting street as we say here in England

Ian
