Blade Forums Traditional Forums 2008 Northwoods Cutlery Medium Stockman with burnt Stag Scales.

I love this knife so much and it feels so good in my hand that when it's in my pocket I'm constantly rubbin' it, ( which accordin' to my daughter, "looks kinda creepy.":))

I'll post another pic, that one was from when I first got it, it's been hard to keep it from stainin' I've kept it away from organic/food stuff.

It has the slightest patina darkenin' just a little, this one does get EDC'd 75% of the time, I'm really lookin' forward to the 2009 Barlow.
 
I only went out of the house once for a little bit. And I only took one knife with me. No room in my fanny pack for more since my 38 was in there.:D

Hi, first post overhere on the traditional forum.

Fontenille Pataud at the moment is the best in genuine laguiole's imo..

I've been eyeballing this one as the normal layol's are 11/12 cm closed this one looks like a perfect pocket match.

Could you post your thoughts on this one about fit finish and feel in hand?
Some more pictures would be appreciated too.

I really like the natural rams horn scale on this one!

Maarten,
Fit and finish for this knife are superb. I couldn't ask for anything better. NO gripes. I am one to ussally fondle new knives for awhile and look for any slight inconsistencies. NONE with the knife I have.

Opening is pretty easy, doesn't fall open, it just kind of glides when I'm opening it. Closing is the same, nice and easy with a nice snap once the blade shuts on the blade stop.

The knife feels really good in the hand. It feels lighter than the peanut I've used on occasion. I have larger hands, (XXL gloves) and when I'm holding it, the bottom curve rests nicely on my pinky. Fits in my pocket well to. It came with a slip pouch to put it in when in the pocket. What the heck, have never had one of these for my pocket knives so I thought I' try it.

I don't have any thing bad to say about it. I am looking forward to buying a 12 cm sometime that doesn't lock just to have a different feel and one with traditional horn handles.

Sorry about no pics. I don't take good pics but here's a website where you could zoom in to see different angles. I'm in no way endorsing the site, just using it for their pics http://www.fontenille-pataud.com/laguiole-xs-9-cm-hand-made-knife-walnut_P857xuk.htmlhttp://www.fontenille-pataud.com/laguiole-xs-9-cm-hand-made-knife-walnut_P857xuk.html

Hope this helps. Have a good day.:thumbup:

thanx for the reply matt,

Got a 12cm one . Superb but to big for pocket carry.

Will get either the rams horn or buffallo one . Lot of caracter on boths..

For all the others if you want a french slipjoint this is top notch !

Lot of money 130 euro's a pop.

One maker from bottom to finish like a custom :)

+ 1 on that here as well! :thumbup: She is really going to be the best thus far with regard to the simple pleasure of hard use and all around aesthetics with this forum knife if I don't miss my guess. :cool: I cannot wait to put the slipy to use. :)

This can't really compare to most I have seen here, but I really dig the tortoise shell celluloid knives and barlows are also a favorite, so....

Got my Case Chestnut CV Large Trapper in my pocket today. I've been carrying my Chestnut CV Trapperlock a lot lately, and just thought I would go for the "real thing" today!
