That chisel work (ciselage?) is absolutely stunning!! You have some really beuatiful knives!

This is guillochage made with file, chisel or anything else.

Some I have been making. Please be nice, I just started this hobby about eight weeks ago. Can't get the gosh-darned bolsters flat and perpendicular... driving me nuts.

Laguiole Droit!! (straight Laguiole!!)

That's a Violin or Fishtail, right? How does that blade shape feel? It's very long and thin.

It's a queue de poisson ( fishtail), a knife associated with kitchen gardens in Brittany. You would have to choke up on it to whittle with the point, but it's a good and compact slicer.

My coolest Opinel; I forget what they call it, but it's a factory carved limited edition with a boxwood handle. I generally have it with me at work to cut up apples and oranges, etc. Works great and looks good, too!

I ordered my first Laguiole (en Aubrac) last night to fill a gap that I created by selling big part of my knives. I will post later on.

Two very good books about French knives. Unfortunately there seems to be no English language edition

It is a shame that there is no english version for single language folks like me but I have been seriously considered getting a copy of the laguiole book if only for the pictures.

Tx308 The Laguiole Book is available in German as well - just in case you speak German better than French

Just yesterday I wondered how those books could be translated with translator apps on phones that can scan the text and show it in your language?
