Traditional French Fry day

[Skyline Drive]

A 12 cm "plein manche" with Padauk scales. It was made by the young knife maker Yoan Roques who has his workshop in Condom d'Aubrac.

Sorry, there's a place in France called "Condom?"

Yes, two towns. If you like weird words, just check what AIr Con means...

A question for S Skyline Drive since you seem to be the only one here with a Voissiere. Is this mouche style a signature of his? It is a very distinct look.

Well, I used to live in Austria and can verify the existence of this town..

And I thought French Lick, Indiana was a bit out there ...

Isn't this SUPPOSED to be about Gallic knives and not juvenile sniggering?

Well on that note...your Vice-President's first name translates as Horrible, Ghastly, Lousy , Useless, Disgusting etc in Finnish .....

Back to Gaul

In a way yes, his « abeilles » have a distinct style, his very own touch. But on the other hands he very often makes « mouches » with totally different motives, like animals heads, mystical figures etc. You can find these on his website.

Thanks to this forum, this is my first Laguiole. 11 cm ebony, I’m impressed. I’m not sure what took so long!

An excellent choice! I'm amused that you have already acknowledged the inevitable. First laguiole indeed...

Be careful! Nothing as addictive as Laguiole knives!!!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. The variety and detail in his mouches is incredible, though I have to say I still favor the abeille the most. The texture and design is superb. I think I'll have to add Voissiere to the wish list.

I can't believe I want to get a knife simply because of the mouche.

Weren't you purchasing knives primarily for the blade stamps as well? It's all about the fine details!
