What is that burly wood in the center? It’s fabulous!These have definitely been taking over my collection lately...
Here are examples from Laguiole du Barry, Fontinelle Pataud and Laguiole en Aubrac!

The one one the left is a Special Edition from Laguiole du Barry with an Occitan Cross. I just got it and really like it.Very nice!
I especially like the file work on the one on the left.

Really lovely knives! I've been eye balling this style of French knife for years. it's about time I did something about it. I'm familiar with the Fontinelle Pataud and Laguiole en Aubrac. I'll definitely look at the Laguiole du Barry also.These have definitely been taking over my collection lately...

I think I'd like to see some more pics of those beautiful looking knives.
I usually buy from Original-Laguiole (www.original-laguiole.com), they are in Texas and really good to deal with.Gorgeous blades!
Who sells these?
Consider Renaud Aubry, heck of a deal for a hand made slip joint and he has a sweet customizer so you get exactly what you want.Really lovely knives!

Thanks for the suggestion. I definitely will.Consider Renaud Aubry, heck of a deal for a hand made slip joint and he has a sweet customizer so you get exactly what you want.
I could never pull off carrying something so fancy, but they sure are nice.[/QUOTE
I have a few Fontenille-Pataud Lags and particlarly with their XS locking pattern at 9cm I find I carry them a great deal. Lags can be a big long knife but this size is ideal and you can't find a more comfortable apple cutting knife than this. They excel at all food tasks and normal pocket duties too. Having a lock and a backstop to prevent blade rap is a really great extra.
