I hear ya Bro!!!!I'll let you in on a secret. If you have a good one, that's all you need. There are billions out there who get through each day without a knife.
However, these parts are fertile grounds for the breeding of knives. Without intending to, I have somehow gotten two handfuls of laguioles over the past couple of years.
Mine also arrived today.

to help tide me over.It‘s a very nice knife. Elegant through it’s simplicity.How is it? I'm on the other side of the pond, so I don't have it in hand yet. That picture was provided by
Another 12cm Laguiole from Yoann Roques. Scalées are made from chestnut, ebony and warthog.
A great hunter!A French knife, but for once not a regional folder! It's a "Rièze", a small hunting knife made by Jean Tanazacq. Tanazacq, who sold his works under the brand name of "Ardennlame" can be considered as the dean of the french knifemakers. He was the first one to start making hand made, high end, custom knives in the early eighties. I will post more about him later on.
Oh, hell yes!!A very special Laguiole by Virgilio Munoz. 14 cm , the blade is damask steel, scales are made out of ebony with brass wire inlays. The "mouche" is an "abeille mécanique", a mechanical bee with wings that can be mechanically deployed and retracted.

Congratulations Sir, I think you are the first person to actually show a tire-bouchon on a knife in action These days, wines are appearing increasingly with screw-tops unfortunately.
Thanks! I get to use corkscrews more frequently than most, I suppose, but the one on this Laguiole is a challenge as it is rather short.Great Expectations
Great pair. I like to carry a N°10 Carbone and my SOG Paratool regularly.Happy French Friday everyone.
