Traditional French Fry day

kamagong · Mar 25, 2022

I think I'm going to get juniper

waynorth . I already have a French knife with boxwood handles thanks to

Fred Z and

Gary W. Graley .

The question is how do I get it?

Âchillepattada brought the maker Fabien Rozelier to my attention and I would like to buy one of his Laguioles, but he hasn't answered my emails.

i also posted these pics of the mark hoping someone would recognize the maker. One with out a flash and the other with, the cool thing with the flash, it kind of made the writing of the initials appear more noticeable. Any idea of who or what company made it? Appreciate it.

Someone gave me some more information, it is made by Antoine Monteiro of Du Barry cutlery in Laguiole, France. Apparently he created the shop in 1988. The link that was provided to me did not work, but at least I have a name and a company. Anyone else maybe able to provide more info on the maker and the cutlery firm? Found a few pics that showed the shop.

I was answering you. In fact they revamped the Internet site and changed the address. Like many, they seem to ignore all what is outside Aveyron.

He moved to new larger premises, a former might-club! There are 2 shops in the little village and the working force is only 4...

Thanks, much appreciated, I was hoping they were still in business. Nice to get some info about where my only Laguiole came from.

Lovely knife. One day I'd like to order a Laguiole with an Occitan Cross instead of a bee/fly.

Here is some of Davide Steri's work; a forged knife, and a forged bead (on its Italian-knife friend)!!

I've been walking around with one of these in my pocket for a while now. Maybe a couple of months. Its easy to see how Picasso did a whole sculpture with it. These smaller Opinels like the number 5, have to be the most effective cutters per ounce out there.

any idea where we can get this? Please PM if you know where. Thanks.

Sorry. I don't visit often enough. I've sent a PM - Maison Berthier, shipped via DHL for about 15 euro. PayPal works well for currency conversion.

I know this is from a while back but it includes 2 of the patterns I keep going back to. Can you please give me your impressions of the Pialincu and the Capochadou as to edc and for everyday food use? Thanks.

I love the look of the Capuchadou but carrying it proved impractical. Was most definitely a sheath folder and a fat sheath at that. Was a solid and beautiful knife but was just not an easy knife to grab and put to work. I've posted others that have proven to be much more user friendly and comfortable in the hand. YMMV - so I offer my 2¢ because you ask.

Thank you. I was afraid of that. That makes it an impractical edc. Too bad, because it's a looker.
