Dear
Sarah Whitcher Kansa,<br>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><big>this is the last
(and not least) step of that leg-handled knives' story (arised from
Petra). The principle of that knife is now living in the Laguiole's

I found for you the joined image dating from 1772, as </span><span
style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; letter-spacing: -0.15pt;">a
significant example of both
the part
of eternity you can find in human hand's activity and of the "arts et
manufactures" of the old Europe ; 1772 means that such things
were living at the time of Lafayette and could have been brought by
himself to your country.</span><br>
