This is a pretty unique piece I'm telling ya! David Gimel Bargeon. Bar zjay ohh...just swallow the N.. If you have the original box, keep it too. There are also the faux, imitation stag handles and the All Metal ones which are the smaller versions of these rare French knives and they are the BO/BC ones....button open/ button close ones. These knives have that malteze cross on the back of the handles, that's typical for this knife. The one you have is the Large one with the "coined" brass liners and the backlock release button is Off centre. I couldn't really see it but does your knife have a square or round hole in the tang? Another thing, be carefull not to mess up the spring or opening mechanisme and when closing it in one motion: push the firing button down when closing the knife entirely. It's like a two way motion. Really nice rare piece you got, keep' r safe ❤️👍🏻
Thank you! Great info, I remember seeing the all metal and faux stags. This french knife was always on my to do list to get ahold of since i was a kid. I didn't get the original box with it but i keep it wiped down, open, bubble wrapped, and stored away. Seeing one in person did surprise me how heavy duty they are. I really do love it. It's got a square hole in tang btw. Good idea on pushing button before fully clicking it closed, I'm starting to do that with all my autos honestly. Thanks for watching! 😁
@@ctknifevids7466 hi there from the Netherlands. Nice talking to you Sir. Nice collection and knives. Good luck with your search on these knives. In the early 90's to 2000 there were a lot of rarities all over in France. They had them in gun stores, fishing stores, souvenirs stores etc...now the prices are almost 3 times then it used to be...anyway, I find that France ís the place to be for finding them in all conditionings. On talkblade there was a guy who bought a whole lottery of them French and Italian knives, bulk. Beautiful pieces and a lot of pictures. Oke bey bey👍🏻🌹
Wow! That’s freakin gorgeous! Viva la France! 🇫🇷
BTW, that was in the first Terminator movie.
Thank you, I could never remember which one because each of them featured an automatic knife of some kind lol. Thanks for the support as always bud!
@@ctknifevids7466 That’s right. Edward Furlong had some kind of leverlock in the second one.
@@undergroundexplorer8378 Yep! I remember that, good eye!
Bill Paxton if i remember well a otf like nato military, not that specific type but that shape

Nice knife! Quite a unique peice. Thanks for sharing😃
My pleasure! Thanks for the comment.
Hey great video. What would you say one of these is worth in mint condition?
Cheers
Thank you! Mint condition by itself its pretty variable but around 300ish? With original box perfect condition can be 400+
Interestingly weird. I have found several of these before but never bought one. Had no clue what they were.
Awesome French Knife
Thank you!
I got 2 with Brass Liners, they are a little thicker, probably older
Hi there , care for selling them?
If not, keep them safe👍🏻
@@chiefslief1886 sorry not for sale
Okay no problem. I also have the ones with the brass coined liners and bail. Rare items.@@nenadcubric2663
First flickie had listed gutted
I'm sorry?
Awe brother I think I have the same knife, How do i tell if it is real and would you be interested
What does it say on the tang? Also does it have brass liners?
Pronounced bars ya own, like asking a bar owner "How many bars ya own?"
French for 'Barge'.
Oh cool! That would make sense thank you.
@@ctknifevids7466 no problem. Just say bars ya own fast and that is how it's pronounced. Just to clarify.
😂😂hahaha I'm gonna remember that, thanks ❤
How much did you pay for it ?
Good price you don’t see many in that condition there normally rusted out and need restoration
I need one.
Spotted one here: th-cam.com/video/ckKsyvdy25o/w-d-xo.html
Seems that movie thughs like much swinguards
@220 you can pick up a Benchmade/ hogue / $80 bucks more microtech
I'm sorry is this sarcasm? You paid 220 USD?
It's a vintage piece that isn't easy to get ahold of.
@@ctknifevids7466 ok. Sorry. Vintage I get it.
Generic with a cool factor.
