Gimel Bargeon French Made Stiletto Automatic Knives Media
Published: 8 years ago
New Old Stock built in France over five decades ago these switchblades were designed by French knife maker Arbalete G. David and sold under the Gimel Bargeon brand. These knives feature mirror-polished stainless steel blades, bolsters and pommels. The handles are either the same polished stainless or black textured acrylic. The lock, liners and bail are all brass. The spring mechanism is very similar to the Italian stilettos - a stainless steel leaf. The blade fires out quick and lock solid. Unlike other all other similar switchblades, these unlock with either the main fire button or have a lock to depress on the backside of the knife and the safety switches are about 90% functional. For the edge the blades are reasonably sharp and could use a drag or two through any type of V sharpener to be ready for a days work.
All knives are stamped "BARGEON INOX" and guaranteed to be authentic bonafide original Gimel-Bargeon.
Finally the large and mini sized models do include the original package and will come in a sheath supplied by PVK. The two Medium Styles do have the boxes that were originally included with the knife.
