I love the way it handles. Has a very substantial feel. The blade is very similar to the Laguiole -- the FP website lists the blade thickness as 3mm for both knives. The real difference for me is in the handle, which is more robust...How does it handle? Is the blade similar to their laguiole or is it a bit beefier? What's the blade thickness?
I've been looking at it, the laguiole gentleman and the capuchadou. Wanting a pocket knife that can do day to day jobs but also skin the occasional deer. Can't seem to decide on which.I love the way it handles. Has a very substantial feel. The blade is very similar to the Laguiole -- the FP website lists the blade thickness as 3mm for both knives.

Beautiful knife and sheath
What's in a name? 250 years ago there weren't many Aussie sir names around. I'm of primarily Irish and French heritage but don't consider myself european.Italian-sounding, but definitely French; a gift from our esteemed friend,Jolipapa !!
Thanks again, Alain!!!![]()
Not only the maker's but the knife's name as well, Lombard refers to the small village where AG stayed when learning cutlery in Thiers, it is named after the Lombards who settled there around 1000 (man, that was Charlemagne's era!).Italian-sounding, but definitely French; a gift from our esteemed friend,Jolipapa !!

I don't wanna offend Mr g2Just got one of these Garonnaise knives. I've been looking for the ebony wood one with the Malta cross medallion but all they had at the shop was this one in olive wood.
I love it already. Perfect for food (hey, it's French, right?)
