The Basque knife
The originality of this traditional Basque knife comes from the insert of decorative studs. Originally, this knife was used to cut tobacco leaves in the Bergerac region. As soon as the planters cut the stalk, the sap used to form a sticky gelatine that clogged up the knife. This is why, at that time, the knife was assembled with a very prominent nailing on rosettes.
