Traditional French Fry day

[Jolipapa]

Probably Gabon (getting rare), but the wood looks stabilized, is it?

Seems these days dark /black ebony come from Laos.

I have seen references from a French laguiole maker that said they source their ebony from Mali or Senegal, which means it is actually African blackwood. I have also seen French makers use Madagascar ebony, which can be very fine grained and very uniform pitch black.

Wet Friday morning here.

I don't remember who mentioned Coutellerie du Barry as an option for Laguioles, but whomever it was thank you. We (my wife and I) no longer had to fight to get a knife but could take our time (sort of window shopping). We then had several options to choose from. It took 7 days from when we placed the order until it shipped. Altogether less than 3 weeks from purchase to delivery. I am very satisfied. I'll let my photos do the talking.

Fidgeting with a couple of odd ball Opinels while working at the desk today, but seem to have lost the ability or know how on posting photos?

Indeed. Want to give credit where it's due. Merci Alain and Jean Marc.

I'm growing quite fond of mine. Summer's bounty is helping the patina develop quickly.

Have a nice day

I'm sure the Laguiole has seen more baguettes and brie than bagels and cream cheese but this is NY.

 

[kamagong]

Good to see you're enjoying your new knife so much Alan!

I am. Thank you. Wish I could go to a good steak restaurant where it would really shine.

 

[kamagong]

Do you have a good cast iron pan? That's all the equipment you need to make a great steak.

All the fixings on the other hand are a little bit more difficult to source.

Man…That’s a boat load of cream cheese. Bet your knife cuts through it like room temperature butter.

 

[joeradza]

Harvey now you know why there's a shortage of cream cheese. Even with my sharpening skills I can get a lnife to cut through that glop.

It just keeps showing up in my pocket. This was my carry yesterday and today (Vendredi et Samedi): Opinel N°10 au carbone. Un vrai cheval de trait!
