Jérôme LATREILLE

If anyone is going to the show, please message me! Is “queue de scorpion” an actual traditional
pattern or a JL creation?
Like the "aile de papillon" (butterfly wing) it is an old pattern, often in ivory.

Jérôme's latest masterpiece! He calls it a "Guiole". It's a "Laguiole droit " without a bee. Because it's missing the bee, - "l'abeille" - in French, he omitted the "l" and the "a" from Laguiole and the new name was found.

That's a beauty!

What is the handle? It looks like meteorite and mammoth, which would make it a grail knife for me.
 
It's always nice to see renderings of the original style of Lag which is quite different from the later and more familiar one.

Once again, JL shows great originality with this one, a mixture of restraint and intricacy :cool:
