In St-Emilion France with my new Laguioles

[Bobbybirds]

So my lovely bride and I are sitting in St-Emilion France enjoying some beautiful red wine and I picked up a few new Laguiole knives from the local Laguiole en Aubrac maker named Didier. The two smaller knives are 9cm versions for my son and daughter, one in snakewood and the other in rosewood. The 11cm is very tradtional with brass and cow horn with a carbon blade. The 12cm is very special and is made from rams crust scales with hammered bolsters and a Brut de Forge carbon blade! I can't wait to get these home and start carrying!

I will post better pics if there is interest in a few days when I get back to Canada...

Very cool thanks for sharing, did you bring your juniper one with you? You are going to have a stellar collection if you go back every year.
Enjoy your time in France

I'd love to see some larger pics of these when you return.

Very nice Laguioles you have there! I especially like the one with the cork screw - very "French" and an absolute "must" in a wine region like this.
Something to open the many bottles of Bordeaux you'll probably be bringing - in ten years or so
Enjoy your stay and show us more pics when you come home, please.

Actually great looking traditional french knives. I´m sure, you´ll get them home safe and they´ll have a good home. I really like the two bigger Laguioles.

The only Laguiole I have is not half as beautiful than yours.

Great score

I usually carry smaller knives, those 9cm Laguioles are really nice, and the other two are wow!

Very nice! I prefer this "lady's leg" version with the corkscrew. And put it to use
