The sculpted brass scales of this classic Coursolle illustrate a historical knife-making scene with the forger on one side, and the grinder on the other. Before electricity, water was used to power the grinding wheels, and the grinder used his dog to keep him warm as he plied his trade in subfreezing temperatures. This limited edition brass Coursolle pocketknife is for collectors who appreciate a traditional carbon steel blade (knowing that it will tarnish), and the classic Coursolle design with rivets that protrude slightly rather than sitting flush to the handle. 4" with a 3" blade.
