Success. I found a knife forged in Thiers France by TB outdoors, they also make the campaign knife issued to the french military ( my next knife ). I got the marauder a fixed blade version of the campaign knife.
Fortunately I know enough french to navigate the site and they ship to america.

WHOOO
IT FINALLY HAPPENED
IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU :D

@Lance_Armstrong: yep that's the one, I went with g10 since carbon fiber more than doubles the price.
@somethingedgey: thanks, I wanted a french knife for several reasons one of which is I learned fencing with a french grip epee. Might as well continue the trend.
