The man can make a gorgeous knife too!!
Got this in the mail from a frenchman that is'nt my husband...  :D  ...

But he's a super wonderful friend! Thank you Manny   :wavey:  

(sorry I stole your thread for a bit)...just wanted to show my beautiful new french folder made of beechwood and a french carbon blade.
You're a master with wood and will be using it alot and taking it to all the shoots along with my sweet tippit and one pretty little antler handled knife my loving hubby made for me (or I should say, I snagged from him when he was'nt looking)  ;)
