Excellent work! The knife is a paring knife or a parer (commonly known in Oz as "where's the vege knife?)", but the right answer was reached regardless:

·Explain how the clues might help someone arrive at that answer SVP! And you say the person wasn’t French? Swiss, maybe, but how might one know he wasn’t French, given that name. I am literally and figuratively clueless about this one!

The clues were: France swa parer go
and he wasn't French so I didn't want you chasing a false lead and looking for a Frenchman.

··Melbourne AustraliaAnd please tell me how these clues might help one arrive at a correct answer?
The shield for FRANCE, and the initials of the organisation Sanitation and Water for All = France + SWA, thus François.
The knife is a sabatier pattern, a bit big for paring, but it gives us "Parer".
Add to that the drag strip staging lights for "Go".
Now you can figure out the rest 😁

·That facsimile of a drag strip staging light given as a clue, is absolutely nothing like the real staging light used at a drag strip!

Good thing that I gave you the honourable mention then. Apologies for that, but 'couteau d’office' doesn't translate back, there is no french word that translates directly to pare that I'm aware of - couteau à peler means peeling knife which is the same thing, but we've lost the word I was after.
