Jérôme LATREILLE

If anyone is going to the show, please message me! Is “queue de scorpion” an actual traditional
pattern or a JL creation?

Like the "aile de papillon" (butterfly wing) it is an old pattern, often in ivory.

Another 13cm, scales are mammoth and they are inspired from a table knife Jérôme saw at the "Musée de la Coutellerie" in Thiers.

Another one of the knives Jérôme had on his table at Thiers. I didn’t buy that one though

Jérôme's latest masterpiece! He calls it a "Guiole". It's a "Laguiole droit " without a bee. Because it's missing the bee, - "l'abeille" - in French, he omitted the "l" and the "a" from Laguiole and the new name was found.

That's a beauty!

What is the handle? It looks like meteorite and mammoth, which would make it a grail knife for me.

Yep, mammoth and meteorite.

It's always nice to see renderings of the original style of Lag which is quite different from the later and more familiar one.

Once again, JL shows great originality with this one, a mixture of restraint and intricacy

I don't care for file worked back springs but this engraved spring is beautiful!

Thank you, it is

But are you SURE you don't care for filework?

 

[Hengelo_77]

Thank you, it is

But are you SURE you don't care for filework?

That looks good as well but I think there has been some engraving on that spring as well

As I know that many of the forum members are aficionados of Jéròme Latreille's work, I wanted to let you know that right now he has quite a few knives available. If you are interested in one of the masterpieces just get in touch with him, either by email: clejerlatreille@orange.fr or through his FaceBook page https://www.facebook.com/JL.couteaux
