No trade.
Knife # 39/40.
This knife made by Jean Taznacq in Maubert-Fontaine (Ardennes) is a TronçayIV type 1 .It will interest collectors because it is in new condition and has benefited from being in a private cololection. The blade has the inscription of the name of the cutler "Jean Tanazacq" and a hallmark representing a wild boar and map of France. It is sold with its original strap and case.
This knife is a classic whose reputation is well established and whose name was borrowed from the oak forest of Troncay, planted by Colbert, to build his naval fleet when the trees were mature.
