Fontenille pataud

[Ed K]

Hi,
I'm new to the forum. I have my eye on a Fontenille pataud (gilles) shepherds knife. Anyone have any experience with this cutlier?

I have never heard of it.
What about a nice Benchmade instead?

I though when I had a pataud the doctor gave me some cream to put on it so it went away.

Hey Ed K – Welcome aboard!

I just recently bought an ebony laguiole from Gilles at Fontenille Pataud. Smooth deal and the knife was the excellent. From what I read here, many different makers make laguioles and Gilles is considered one of the better ones. I must agree. I have had a couple from other makers and this one is the best by far.

This company makes some beautiful knives. My favorite is the Corsican Vendetta. There is a great article on this company on the Blades International website.
