Laguiole en Aubrac (Snake Wood)

excellent review & your english was superb. even this ole redneck could clearly understand all said.i really appreciate the history & explanations.thanks a ton, dennis
 
Yes, I'll second that. I've been interested in that style of knife for a while and your history lesson and manufacturer recommendations are very helpful!
 
Is the 4.5" closed length the typical size? Also, are these usually carried in a pocket or sheath?
 
Very informative. Until now, I thought the "bee" was a locking mechanism on these knives. Interesting!
 
I really need to get one of those. The combination of quality craftsmanship and a long tradition is something that I like.

Ganz Schön!
 
FYI if anyone would like to see somewhat different laguioles:
In one of my very first video reviews (HERE), I discussed 2 Fontenille-Pataud laguioles.
These are somewhat different, because both are backlocking instead of slipjoints, and the small and slightly fat one is designed as a gentlemeny pocket knife.
I also discussed very similar historical details (perhaps a few different anectodes) as Stefan did in his very well made video.
 
Gorgeous slip joint! I also thought that the bee was a locking mechanism. For some reason, Laguioles always seemed like the perfect "gentleman's knife."
 
Awesome review Schmalhaus!

I have been looking into Laguiole knives, and until I saw your review I hadn't come across any cohesive information on their history.

Your English is very good, far better than my German or French :)
 
Another type of folding knife which I can now think of when France is mentioned, besides the Opinels. :D

Thanks for the straightforward and well-made video! :thumbup:
 
Thanks mate, great review.

I have the exact same knife but mine was made by David.

I really must use it more, its a very nice knife
