An absolute French classic, originally made for practical, hands-on people, such as sailors, farmers, and fishermen or women! 🎣

I recognise that bladed and sharply pointed hand-tools, ie. saws etc. are important in demonstrating Bushcraft, Survival Skills in a safe designated area or when reviewing or comparing which is best suited for the task and why, whether 'in the field' or online.
I promote the safe use of knives used as a tool reiterating UK Law.
Code of Conduct:
Always read the manufacturers instructions & guidelines before using any tool.
It is always 'good practice', to use SOP's - 'Safe Operating Procedures' when using any tool. Please practice, safe & responsible knife/tool ownership, in accordance with any local laws.
Always try to be mindful - a good knife user needs to be proactive, polite and dignified when using a knife in view of others. Avoid un-necessary flourishing movements or anything that might be mis-perceived as brandishing or be seen in a threating manner.
I hold no responsibility from injuries that have occurred as a result of using this resource. Whenever a Knife/Saw/Tool is to be used in an activity, it is good practice to risk assess, understand the nature of the material being cut etc. and use common sense to help prevent injury or loss of life.
In case of accidents, always ensure you have a First Aid kit on your person or in a designated area - vehicle, campsite etc. and that you know how to use it!
Law:
UK knife law allows you to carry non-locking pocket knives with a blade length up to 3 inches (7.62 cm) without any need for a valid reason.
Knives with a fixed non-folding blade, a folding knife with a blade over 3 inches in length or a folding knife which locks in place require the person carrying such a knife in public (Whatever age), to have good reason for carrying the tool.

Hi Gus what a beautiful greeting in your video I felt truly welcomed and connected to people all over the world.

Anne 🌻 That's very kind of you, and you're most welcome 🫂 We are all universally connected, I guess... 🌌 ⬇️ I will be reviewing the Vic Recruit very soon... I know, exciting, right! Lol 😁 Also, I just want to say that I, and many other thousands, are so very grateful to have you in the community. Thank you, lady 🙏 ♥️ Gus x

[@thevineclimber]

@@gadgetgus Wow that's so nice!!! But I have to go finish your video - had to drive home and didn't want to crash because a pretty knife was on the phone.

[@TheKnifeRaven]

Well isn't that a gem! 😊 I hope you enjoy it. Cheers!

[@gadgetgus]

[@bladeinwales]

What an elegant gentleman's carry ......what you doing with it Gus ? 🙃 Smacks of class and quality . I'll ask you again Gus !!!! ..........You know I'm kidding . You may well be right about it being a type of Bakelite . In it's day it was a remarkable material , making everything from telephones to electrical fittings . Old or not , a cracking UK legal carry . Have a good week my friend , A T B Tony . 🐴🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@tomt5745]

Oh, no not the Excelsior! Makes me so hungry for the Pocket Pal 😢

[@gadgetgus]

I had a red PP, which I let go three years ago now. They still come up for sale occasionally... so don't give up 😉 Thanks for watching, ATB 👍

[@tomt5745]

@@gadgetgus Im looking :) All the Vic that are carried on a regular basis has two blades. A must: one for food/snack prep and one for sharpening pencils. A one blade Vic is not a proper Vic when the front door closes behind you ;)

[@tomt5745]

For such an old one the first french blade is no less than brilliant. Of course the handle material degrades over decades. Im green all over the face from want want want such a little pretty tool :)

[@gadgetgus]

Hey Tom 👊🏼 They still make them, buddy - check out the links in the video description 😉 Thanks for stopping by, and commenting, ATB 👍🏼

[@stuartmccrea]

Lovely looking item you got there Gus. Where can us UK folks pick one of these up?

[@gadgetgus]

Hey Stuart 👊 I have now put the links in the description, but since it's you, buddy, click the link below: ⬇️ www.ausabot.com/en/collections-of-knives/regional-knives/pradel/ Also, check out this puppy, a modern variant on the original ⬇️ www.fontenille-pataud.com/en/2948-76285-knife-le-pradel-knife-walnut.html#/ Tell me what you think, but keep mum about it, as I'm looking at reviewing it soon 😉 Have a good week, ATB 👍

[@stuartmccrea]

Cheers Gus. Wow! The Walnut design looks stunning 😮 Way way way out of my budget range though. Hope you manage to get one 👍

[@Robert_Thomas832]

Hey Gus, et ca va. Interesting knife from Thiers. Legal in UK unlike the classic Opinel? though I add an Op to the picnic basket 🧺. Thanks for the review 👌

[@gadgetgus]

Thank you, Rob 👊 I'm glad you agree and enjoyed the video, as it's a unique pup, for sure 👌 Have a good week, ATB 👍

[@gazfm9422]

She is a beauty - check out veritable laguiole- I got a couple single blade folders with corkscrew - I love em - the french seem to make good single blade knives

[@gadgetgus]

Hey buddy 👊 I know the ones you're talking about - nice! 👌 There are some other great models too, which I shall review when they send them... 😉 Thanks for stopping by, ATB 👍
