River Traders French Ball Knife

Excellent, very high quality knife. Very sharp and fit my hand well. Dealing with Knives of the North was a very good experience. They have the best pricing on these knives and very fast shipping. I have purchased 5 knives from them so far and will get more in the future.

French Knife

I have used one of these French ball knives for a couple of decades. From Wyoming wilderness pack trips to day hikes and hunting, this knife has proven itself as sturdy, able to hold an edge, easy to sharpen as needed, and handy as a camp/hunting knife. Good for horseback, as it won't keep sticking your horse on the flanks, and it is as lightweight as a sturdy reliable blade can be. Handle fits my hand well also. Styling suitable for Rendevouz days as well, as I am a black powder shooter.
