P. Bechon, Gironde Antique Knife (Horn Handle)

This is a beautiful antique knife, believed to be made by P. Bechon, Gironde, France.
The hallmarks suggest it was manufactured in the Gironde region of France.

The greatest charm of this knife is its warm handle made from natural horn.

The blade is made of metal, imbued with a historic patina.
Where the blade meets the handle, there is an ornate metal collar, further enhancing the overall design.
