My father became 70 years old this year, the first of october. Still in good health, luckily! I wanted to give him a special gift, as a "thank you" for all he, and my mother, did for me and my brother over the years.

Last spring, during a visit to dutch knifemaker Gudy Van Poppel, while we were discussing some future projects, I got the brilliant idea to ask Gudy to make a folder for my father. I know he's fond of traditional French "Laguiole" folders, so that was what I asked Gudy to make.

This is what he came up with, and I can tell you it made my father VERY happy!

Damascus blade & bolsters, sambar stag handle slabs, fileworked liners, textured backspring, and where the "fly" would be on a traditional Laguiole, Gudy made his logo.

OK, enough words, on to the pics!
