Hi,
Jérôme is really a great pro to set a spring. The friction is perfect and the knife easy to open .
And when I say I have fine and elegant fingers...my wife laughs

Jérôme does wonderful work! The blade and the "bee" are great variations on the Laguiole's usual accoutrements!! Nicely selected handles!!
You are fortunate to have access to the best artists in the field  !!! And a wife with a good sense of humor!!!
Life is good!!

Those are incredibly beautiful knives. The details on the bees is just incredible. THAT qualifies as a grail knife, for sure.... I'm afraid to even check what the prices are...... but I probably will, just for the "gasp" value...

Great Work!

A lot of beautifull Laguiole in this topic.

Cool to see art in progress!

Difficult to imagine he could find that bee and its long tail in that piece of steel

Pretty darn impressive skill and very excellent results.

About the pull on Lags. I've found that the French seem to have mastered the balance: generally easy and smooth to open but tough yet smooth to close. As it should be

Those bees and fleur du lys...hypnotic

Thanks, Will

Master Cutler, Indeed!
Not only is J. Latreille's work beautiful, it feels good to handle and use!
I am honored!!

Missed this earlier one, a very cool bee, even fly Magnificent work on that spring

I've never quite known if the consensus in France is for Bee or Fly (abeille/mouche?) I think in medieval tapestries Bees were often represented and their honey making proclivities certainly are preferable to the activities of flies

The technical name is mouche and at the beginning it did not represent anything, just plain. The insect (let's be neutral) came later but other patterns were also used
Mouche is also the name of the fake moles (talking 'bout animal names) the XVIIIth cent. marquises used to wear on their face. No link between.

Jolipapa Thanks for the background Faux moles/flies on aristocrats before your Revolution? As the English say " There's no flies on me!" (But, you can see where they've been....)

That segmented Scorpion tail must be incredibly difficult to do, both metal and scales
