Traditional French Fry day

The Douk Douk I have had for a bit and forced a patina on it to prevent rust. Also don't try and add more patina to the handle, it will end up stripping the coating and end up looking mottled like mine.

The 5 Coqs I just received this week and am quite fond of it already. Fontenille Pataud's customer service is also quite excellent I must say.

 
Another Laguiole from Virgilio Munoz. 14 cm with mammoth ivory scales.

I made the little stand from walnut, using an 1/8" chisel I carved in the slot for the knife to rest as you see it there.
