I was looking for a Laguiole knife for a long time and after watching your original review and advice I ended up choosing a Honoré Durand knife. It is truly a thing of beauty and I thank you so much for your help.
It never occurred to me that people would make CZcams videos on classic type knives, only modern karambits and the like. I only collect classic knives, albeit a small collection, I have had a laguiole belonging to my grandfather from 1955. This gift probably started my knife obsession. I'm glad to have found this channel, which I cannot so watching now! Great information and enjoyable presenting style. Regards
Your reviews are soooo amazing, Stefan. I have no idea where you were able to dig up actual rare movie footage of Napoleon. And in color no less! Louis Daguerre would be proud of you!
I guess it's an excusable rookie mistake. 😋If you want to learn more about Laguiole knives I recommend this video: czcams.com/video/0j4yEqQdENA/video.html
I have seen the fleur-de-lis used in one form or another all over the place. For example the Boy Scouts use a variation of the fleur-de-lis for the webelos. I knew of the connection between the fleur-de-lis and the france monarchy of course and that the symbol was much older, but not how old thank you. I'll admit I never saw the bee and Napoleon connection coming awesome. Take care.
By the way, Stefan, it's pretty sly of you to include the Third Symphony to demonstrate that "Napoleon is everywhere". Yes, some of your viewers do get the inside jokes. :o)
Elegant and informative review, as always! Are you still eating abundant amounts of freshly sliced sausages and cheeses? Have not seen them recently. Keep up the excellent work!
@fred7705 G. David is another traditional cutlery company. - There are no "real" Laguioles and "copies", there are only well made and poorly made Laguioles.
Ein sehr schönes Messer...ohne Frage! Viel mehr aber beeindruckt wieder mal deine persönliche Note! Das Video ist "over the top"...stark gemacht! PS:Tja....an Napoleon & den Beatles kommt man halt nicht dran vorbei! ;-)
Dear Stephan, I like your video's very much. Thank you! Could you do one on the model: Fontenille Pataud Sport black buffalo horn FPL5PCN I'm interested in your opinion about this knife. Thank you, Adolfo Fiorini
I'm sorry, my channel doesn't work that way. I'm not rich enough to buy all the knives that my viewers are interested in. 🙄 You may want to watch my reviews of several other Fontenille Pataud knives though.
Hello, I'm french and I have some knifes laguiole. The Laguiole l'Arbalète is does not in laguiole but at the Thiers city. Anyway, this knife's maker have good reputation is considering like the only one real laguiole maker not in Laguiole town.
I live in Hawaii. I want to buy an authentic Laguoile wine key for gift for my friend....it must have the "bee" and it must have the "shepherds cross", worm and small finely serrated knife. Where do get it??
In the video it is told that the privilige to use the bee came from Napoleon Bonaparte.......wich is offcourse not possible. The privilige was granted by Napoleon the Third, (Charles-Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte1808-1873). Still....... nice video.
Bonjour! i own a laguiole knife but it is called l'Arbalète by G.David. Do you know anything about this knife maker? either it is a reel Laguiole or very nice copy . Thank you! Frédéric
You easily have some of the best reviews on youtube. Love the history behind all these knives.

Brilliant and very true! Bravo from France et merci
Great video as usual Stefan! I never realized that French cutlery had such a fascinating history.
Honoré is the best of all.

As usual, an inspired choice of music and interesting tales of folklore entwined with a bit of history.
I've just bought a set of laguiole steak knives and didn't realise it isn't actually a brand name but a style of knife

Outstanding work as usual! Thanks for sharing, Stefan.

They've got some sweet Laguiole knife kits on their web site for around 20 euros, too bad shipping to the US is 21 euros. :-(

@sabr686 LOL You learn something new every day.
It is pronounced "Fleur de Lysse", but is written "Fleur de Lys".

If only these knives were made with an automatic mechanism.
If only Americans had respect for European knife traditions. ;-)
