Eye Candy

[gravknife]

Thought I would share this here as I really love the Tarry levigne french knives ,but it was the box with it that caught my eye , I had never seen one before .
It isn't my knife but I was following it on an auction and I just love it's style and the cool graphics on the packaging .
I have seen French knives in their original boxes but never this one .
Hope others can post some of their knives with packaging if they can .

Hope everyone is well .

Very cool knife and box! How do you retract a knife like this? I pressume its a single action OTF?

[gravknife]

Not sure TMD ,never owned one ,but admired them from afar ,thought it may have been a bobc .?

Someone will know and chime in hopefully .

I allways thought they were manufactured in Italy and Terry Lavigne was just a French retailer?

[gravknife]

Yes the.italian style switchblades definitely were Erik ,and Tarry Levigne added his mark .
Dont know about this style of knife though ,looks very French in appearance ,someone will know and tell us hopefully .

It looks like a side opener to me. Never seen an OTF with a back spring

[gravknife]

Of course Luke .
No tab ...so it must be a bobc .

[TMD]

Oh I see, Its very cool anyway. I Love these french automatics, I wish they still made them.

Ian,

Thanks for sharing. I am SO glad that you are okay. I am working with an elite Armed Security Service vendor, and have been since January 8th. (I'm in the Sales division).

That's SUCH a cool blade! A simple BO/BC side-opening knife with great panache!

I LOVE IT!

It’s not a BO/BC side opener. It is a French made single action OTF. To close you hold with the tip up and press the button and the blade will fall about 70% closed, and there is a very small tab on the side that is pulled down to set the blade. In my opinion these are the coolest vintage OTF’s.
For the record, I am now the overly proud owner of the knife, and more importantly the box.
