I've been on the lookout for a good quality pocket knife recently. I like to keep a knife around the house since I don't like using the kitchen knives to open boxes and cut rope/string etc in the garden or garage. I also like a knife to take if I'm going out camping or walking in the forest - always useful to have along.

I used to own a handmade sheath knife designed by Ray Mears and made in England by Alan Wood, but I sold it recently on Ebay as the value had increased by a large degree due to the rarety of these - actually it paid for the Maestro I ordered.

Anyway I wanted to pick up a good quality folding knife, and have been perusing the Boker and Spyderco websites for 2 or 3 weeks trying to decide on one to go for. Then I happened to be looking at Classicshaving website this morning and noticed they have 4 Limited Edition handmade Thiers pocket knives, I'm not sure how long they've been on the website. Not only do they look to be very pretty, but if the description is to be believed they should be of very high quality too.

They have 4 different versions, but I ordered the one below. It looks like an absolute beauty!
