My grandpa was a shepherd. He had a Laguiole and used it everyday for absolutely everything. It was for sure the most valued thing he owned. He treated it with so much respect, as if it was a person. A true compagnon. We could never even dream of touching his knife. When he died, he was buried with it. And the one he offered my grandma, she put it so many times in the dishwasher after his death (before, it would have been a felony), it doesn't even look like a knife anymore 😂.

While this was done 3 years before my response here, I still want to take a moment to thank you for educating me more on the subject! While I have not carried one myself I did get one for my Father-in-law for Christmas the year I married his daughter. He is a metallurgical engineer by trade and works in an office so I felt that the Laguiole type would be somewhat gentlemanly given I found one in Damascus of both the blade and handle. Both he and his wife love whine and he actually makes whine himself finding him a "old world" design with a corkscrew and made using a form of metallurgy in the form of Damascus was kind of perfect for him and he's loved loved and carried it ever since. That was 12 years ago this year. Being from the USA and of a farmer background my family and I have always carried a pocket knife but that was in the form of a Buck 110 back lock or a Case Knives Stockman, Sodbuster or Trapper series depending on what we were doing. so it was interesting to learn more about a "Farmers Knife" from elsewhere. Again, Thank you kindly, Sir! I have of course liked and subscribed and will be perusing you other videos!

Here in the US, we don't have the knife making companies that we used to, most have sold out and are made in China now, Case is one of the few exceptions. But even as an American, I have made it a point to collect and use knives from around the world, I know that there are some excellent quality made knives. I have several German made knives from Solingen, different makers, I have a couple of Finnish made Marttiini knives, I have a couple of French made Opinels and am now looking at getting a French made Laguiole (hard to find them here, most are the Chinese or Pakistani made versions). I have to say that the Laguiole knives are I think some of the most attractive looking knives, but I make it a point to use the knives I own here around the house, in the garden or in the woods whenever I have a need.

Interesting video. La mouche refers to many things in cutlery and armament. It is the front sight of a rifle, the original muskets had a "mouche" as a front sight, the term remained and it applies to any rifle and even shorter barrels such as handguns although there are more specific terms, you'll find that "mouche" is still in catalogues depicting barrels. Faire mouche (to do mouche) means to hit your target. (to hit the fly). It refers to precise shooting.

9:49 The fact that today we accept that "Damascus" no longer refers to blades which derive their specific pattern from the micro-impurities within Wootz crucible steel is a good indicator of what "Laguiole" is up against regarding its identity. Damascus today is used interchangeably with pattern welded knives. That ship has sailed, largely due to knife makers wanting to capitalize on the word for marketing purposes. The word damascus has been genericized (the legal term for the process). Google may eventually lose it's own name to genericization in some contexts as it is commonly used as a verb - "dude, just google it". "Laguiole" in the future might indicate little more than an overall shape and aesthetic.

Forge de Laguiole and Fontenille-Pataud are the two most famous manufacturers of Laguiole knifes in France. They are at the same range of prices, whatever you ask in matter of metal for the blade or material for the handle (from wood, european or exotic, horn, ivory or mammoth tooth). The difference is that Forge de Laguiole is only making traditional slipjoint knives, when Fontenille-pataud is offering slipjoint knives and back-lock knives, which are more secured for your fingers if you don't use your knife just for the meals.

What are your thoughts on high polished versus satin polished blades on these? I'm not sure what to get. Is the mirror finish a fingerprint magnet?
@StefanSchmalhaus

If you are conerned about fingerprints go for a satin finish. The mirror polished blades are indeed a fingerprint magnet.

@@StefanSchmalhaus Thanks for that. You've got a very interesting Laguiole collection there. It's a good inspiration when I'm thinking about what I'd like to get (something in the FP Nature range perhaps). I've lingered over that sleek black buffalo horn, and admired the classic dark wood of the En Aubrac snakewood. I noticed an interesting Claude Dozorme Secret - what is that ball bearing mechanism like to use, and what type of wood are those handles constructed from? In regards to the Fontenille Pataud Nature knives, does the opening/closing action feel any different/better than the traditional non-locking versions? I'd love to see a video discussing more details of your Laguiole collection, if ever you were to make one!

Thank you for the video! Which brand would you recommend for a simple black horn corkscrew? Is there a shop in Germany that you can recommend? I‘m based in Munich. Thanks!

This is a Laguiole video, I'm not sure why you ask for a corkscrew. But if you're interested in a Laguiole knife with a corkscrew, there's a shop in Munich you should visit: Hans Nahr, Sendlinger Straße 1 (messerexklusive.de/). They sell beautiful sommelier knives by Forge de Laguiole. EDIT: I just looked it up on Google Maps. It says "Permanently closed". 😞

My father has a Laguiole knife, it appears to be of good quality. It is marked made in France--although I am uncertain where. The distinguishing mark on the blade is that of a **Seahorse**. Do you know of any knife makers in France using this mark?? I cannot find any leads in the search engines.

Thank you! - It's a matter of preference. I don't know any French Laguiole manufacturer that makes classic Laguiole knives with serrated blades. But I've seen serrated blades on Laguiole-style steak knives (e.g. by Claude Dozorme).

I just ordered my first Laguiole knife from a local authorized dealer in the United States. As a lover of Opinel knives, I have great hopes for this knife. It seems they are trying to make a breakthrough on the Internet. First saw them on the TGV site when reviewing a watch. Looks beautiful, hope it handles the same way.

@@markvalente480 unfortunately, no. The blade is so difficult to open and close that I have almost cut myself several times. I read a review that it loosens up with use, so I spent an evening with gloves on opening at hundreds of times. It is still is just as tight. -Such a shame because I wanted to buy some as gifts for my family. I don't want to give a gift that I have to give a warning with.

Thank you. I bought a Laguiole back in 1998 ( now Forge de Laguiole ). They make a very elegant and sleek shape to their knives with a vicious looking point. It came with a card with all that romantic nonsence about the shepherds ect. It also seemed to assume the buyer was a rich, leather seat, Bond villian type going for a spot of golf !...the customer they were aiming their product at. For some reason I happened on this video right on April 1st....and find it was all pure BS... Then I find out these Laguiole makers are trying to belittle each other's steel !.... Now when I see the knife I feel annoyed for being so nieve and being a bloody fool for swallowing their sales pitch and lies. I'm going back to my " no - nonsence " Victorinox. Funny how you don't see German or Swiss knife companies behaving like that.

Is a laguiole known to be 12 cm long throughout history or is there no exact length? What length do you usually prefer? Great video!
@StefanSchmalhaus
2 жыл бұрын
In France, this value usually refers to the closed length of a Laguiole knife. Actually, I don't know when the value of 12 cm became a quasi-standard. Although being a very common length, this value is not set in stone. I prefer the 12 cm Laguiole knives at the table, the smaller ones are more suited for EDC.
