I think all of Manu Laplace’s folding knives come with wise sayings engraved inside (see pics). This one says, “Il est bon de n’avoir pas de vices et mauvais de n’avoir pas de tentations”. It is a citation from Walter Bagehot, an English journalist, businessman, and essayist, and translates like this, “It is good to be without vices, but it is not good to be without temptations”.


2) Roland Lannier Why So Serious no.256 - 340 Euros

stainless nitrogen boosted steel, cryogenic treated, 60 HRC, mounted with beryllium bronze washers and ceramic ball, tartan scales and white corian spacer, “Pride of Scotland” silk pouch, handcrafted in France. As new.

Let me say something about the tartan micarta scales: the colour is so unbelievably beautiful but almost impossible to capture in pictures, no matter what light conditions you have. The handle looks black but when you look closer you can see hints of dark blue/purple and green. Reminds me of the Joker… The handle was the main reason why I bought this knife.

Bump for a couple of gems. I’d love to sell but have no problem keeping those. Especially the folders make great steak knives. And the Wilkins will get moved to my bike backpack.
