ANTIQUE TARRY LEVIGNE FRENCH HAWKBILL FOLDING KNIFE Late 1800’s For Sale

This very rare antique French folding knife from Tarry Levigne features a unique hawkbill blade with the classic lizard etching.

The knives still has a good sliding “click” as it opens.

With its vintage design, this knife is both a functional tool and a piece of history. Tarry Levigne knife manufacturing began in the 1860’s and my estimate is this knife is around the 1880’s but could be earlier.
