hornetguy Thanks for the insight, he's made you a very enviable knife I'm thinking about Amourette, Camel or Horn, but that leaf file work

I would think about briar (if he does that) or blonde horn. Gorgeous file work.

I was liking the tiger coral

I think that for Shadow construction, wood is the safest and strongest option? But they all look alluring

Hello,
Here you will find a few creations of this young knife-maker. He worked for the most famous companies in Laguiole and is also a very good engraver .
There are not so many to be able to make a fully hand-made Laguiole.

Â

Just now I saw it, but how wonderful !!!
I will have to own one !!
Thanks for showing us !!

This just in!!!! Left France on Monday and arrived in Maine on Saturday - by post You would have thought it was hand carried by Âchillepattada himself. Though he did help me obtain this beauty, alas he was not also the courier. Thank you very much  for your help!!!

Jérôme LATREILLE is very eager to hear your response and he encourages you all to contact him for your very own JL custom - Laguiole or otherwise.

More photos on Black & White - don't know where to stop Enjoy!



I threw this into Jérôme's lap asking him to make a beautiful & unique Laguiole. I specified only -
• carbon blade • 11cm handle with a 9,5cm blade • mammoth tusk scales • and I asked for the awl which I did describe with a sketch. Should evoke a bees stinger, I suggested.



His engraving is well regarded by all who have visited this thread. Elegant and detailed as I could have hoped. The bee has a STINGER.

L'abeille avec le dard et les fleurs ~



Man - the blade and awl are snappers. I almost skewered myself setting up the shot above, of the blade and awl open. One is sharp and the other very pointy - could hoit!

Notice the notch in the scales for getting to the tip of the awl?








The color of the scales is all over the spectrum because I am not a great photographer. Will get some better shots, au naturel over the next week.
