Traditional French Fry day

An "Aérien" by Fabien Rozelier.

Very nice. I would like to order a Laguiole from Mssr. Rozelier. Maybe one day if he ever decides to take international payments.

Amazing.

The Charles Roulin video is awe inspiring. I had not imagined...
Thanks for posting Jolipapa !

Very nice mouche on that laguiole.

Just the basics.

They say you never forget your first. That must be true because my first spring knife was a laguiole, and though I no longer have it I have somehow managed to accumulate a fair few this past year. Here are the users.

"Le Couteau D'ici" made by "Laguiole en Aubrac".

What's the quality like? I need me a good friction.

Looks beautiful

For the price, around 80€, it’s ok. It’s not comparable to high-end French knives but it is of solid quality. I do not regret buying it.

Opinel (N°6 in Olive Wood), Rossignol Laguiole (Boxwood covers) and Douk Douk (El Baraka).
What other classic non-automatic French knife do I need for the accumulation?

Recently our good friend Will Power wondered what name for a given blade shape.
Here are the most frquently used shapes and their denomination:

Bourbonnaise : Queue de poisson.

Feuille de sauge : Saint Amans

Yatagan (clip) : Rumilly.

/ Alpin

short on the Massu

Stylet (sheepsfoot) / straight on the Gouttière

or wide on the Donjon (a village in Burgundy)

Pied de mouton (sheepsfoot) of course on a London

Keep the shape!

Issoire Marchand de vin

Roquefort

Saint Martin

Sauveterre

Yssingeaux

Thanks for the illustration and info Jolipapa Always liked the look of those Donjons, real vine chopper and great to enjoy a < coup de rouge > with (in the wine context not the political one, although....) just as nice as with a White Burgundy too

Many subtle variants in blades it seems with French cutlery.

 

[5K Qs]

Here are a couple of French knives I got myself for Father's Day last month.
A stainless Opinel No. 8 with fancy laminated birch handles. It cost more than I've typically spent for an Opinel, but it sure looks good to me.



I've admired Le Thiers pattern for quite some time, but the models with wood or horn handles didn't really fit my knife budget (unless they were very small). But I recently saw this Coursolle brass Le Thiers model at a price I could justify (with a Father's Day discount), and at 4.73" closed, it's certainly not small. And it has some filework on the spring.

5K Qs I like the 'stripes' on that one too GT Wonder if they come in the smaller sizes too? More expense looming...

Will I've only come across them in a No8. 6 or a 7 would be cool

From one guy who posts pictures of the same knife over and over to another guy who does the same, I wholeheartedly approve

Just added this to my meager collection of French knives. Have to get used to it not having a kick.
No kick, no problem. Added a little strip of leather shoe lace and wha-la no blade rap.
