That one is just marvelous. The most beautiful Fontenille-Pataud I’ve seen up to now.

The 2024 edition of the "Forum Passion Laguiole" knife. I got myself two, one in XC75, with filework only on the back of the bolsters and one in 14C28 with firework all around.

A 12 cm "Laguiole" with mammoth scales and "mini mitres". This form of extremely small bolsters is a creation of Jéròme Latreille.

Stunning! His work is amazing!A 12 cm "Laguiole" with mammoth scales and "mini mitres". This form of extremely small bolsters is a creation of Jéròme Latreille.
I have a couple Spanish knives that have these type of bolsters - not really true bolsters. They referred to it as turned linings. This knife only has them in the bolster area and is not fully lined.

There's probably no equivalent ? The French are much more versatile & adventurous with the use of woods than English makers (rather like cuisine...
) Americans are more interesting with woods but that's the New World with different timber species . It could be Spalted Beech if the colouring has been caused by funghi or partial decay?Great looking whatever! I also really like those Tip Bolsters on the JL Laguiole, not seen that type of rendering before, very effective
Thanks, Will
