Traditional French Fry day

A better picture of my new Camarguais knife:

At first blush, these Laguiole knives appear to be flowing, delicate, knives; however, they are actually very substantial knives. I haven't put this Honoré Durand to work yet but I have no doubt that it will be a capable work knife.

The Laguiole is indeed substantial, and I love the stainless steel Honoré Durand uses. I think mine is the same as yours except for the wood--I went with olive wood.

It is the same knife Vince except as you say, the covers are different - mine Pistachio, yours Olive Wood. Both very attractive.

I think my most solidly build traditional knife is my 20 year old En Aubrac. I’ve also worked my Opinel’s harder than any knife bordering on abuse and they’ve held up. It’s hard to get that first ding in a Laguiole but I find once you do it’s liberating hahaha.

Lags are also highly ergonomic in the hand, the handle looks narrow but the slabs are usually thick and the shape suits nearly every hand.

I bobbed the nose on one of these to get it down to three inches.

For legal reasons?

For legal reasons?

Yes. Last I knew, we had a law against carrying "an iron bar or other dangerous weapon such as a knife with a blade more than three inches long with the unlawful intent of using it against another".

Yes. Last I knew, we had a law against carrying "an iron bar or other dangerous weapon such as a knife with a blade more than three inches long with the unlawful intent of using it against another".

Can the blade be longer than three inches if there is no "unlawful intent of using it against another"?

I believe so, but I don't want to go to trial to prove my lack of unlawful intent. I'm probably overly cautious.

I'll be gone next week for some post-surgery clean-up so, I'll leave y'all with this wiz-bang photo to tide you over.

Hope the post-surgery cleanup goes well, Ed.
