Tarry levigne

Post by Erik131065 »

I came across Tarry Levigne (lizzard import) on this forum and I fell in love with the sleek lines of these knives. But who was he? French? American? Where are those knives made and in which era? I hope some of you can provide me some info about it. I will be gratefull.

The were a French company that imported italian stilettos and knives into France. Evidence points to them selling Italian knives in the 1960s through the 1970s.

The company has a long history and goes way back before they sold the Italian stilettos in the 1960s.

No. The Moletta knives were made in Italy.
