I was shocked, really, especially since customer service is generally so bad now. There's quite a demand for these older ones. The new ones are nice but there's just somethign about the simplicity of the originals. I've amassed quite a collection of knives myself, including this French Nontron one.
One thing I'm discovering about myself in middle age is I prefer things that are useful. As nice as this Nontron is to look at it only is useful for a few things. I find myself carrying my trusty Swiss army knife the most for EDC.
