The Liadou was the typical knife of the winemakers in the Marcillac region in Southern France. The small cutlery company D'Albrac in Laguiole revived the design of this traditional regional knife. le-liadou.com/
Oh my goodness. Your channel is full of gentleman's knives. Before I found your channel I thought my gentleman's options where Case and Opinel. Thank you for your efforts in helping gentlemen find the knife that best suits their lifestyle. As a reward for your hard work I shall provide your channel with lots of likes and views.
thorin dyer Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoy my channel. Yes, there's a whole universe of traditional pocket knives beyond Case and Opinel.
To log on to YT this morning and find a knife review from you has really made my day. You've been sorely missed and it's great to see you back. :) Cheers from Oz.
I just discovered your videos, and as a traditional French knife collector, this stuff has given me such a good look into the various manufacturers out there today.
What a fascinating subject for a video. I had no idea that wine makers had their own style of knife. That is definitely a very French style knife IMHO. It reminds me a little bit of the older Opinels. Thank you so much for the knife history lesson, Stefan. Every time I watch one of your videos, I feel like I'm watching/listening to a tenured professor give a lesson on something he is truly passionate about. It's always nice to hear from you Stefan.
Welcome back Herr Schmalhaus! Your detailed, historical reviews have been sorely missed. Oh, portions of the D'Albrac website are already in English. Once more, you've got me looking at blades that would have otherwise escaped my scrutiny. Thanks!
Moin and welcome back, Stefan! It's good to enjoy a typical Schmalhaus video after such a long time. This knife isn't an elegant one as you've said. But it is for sure an honest working knife for a winegrower. I wouldn't buy a Le Liadou for myself, because it is to big for my personal taste but it is definitely a very special knife that would enrich any knives collection.
Stefan, I like your videos a lot. One of the many reasons is that you buy many knives I wouldn't pay attention to on my own and then explain why they are interesting. Thank you for broadening my horizons.
Willkommen zurück im Geschäft,Stefan. :-) Das Liadou lebt von seiner Linie & der wirklich packenden Klinge. Die ist auf den ersten Blick schon interessant,aber entwickelt nach kurzer Zeit eine sehr große Anziehung....absolut gelungen! Die sehr großzügige Länge gefällt mir natürlich auch...mit diesem Messer,sollte sich ganz vorzüglich arbeiten lassen. Hau rein, Stephan
Ich hätte das Messer auch vorgestellt, wenn's potthässlich gewesen wäre - einfach wegen der tollen Geschichte mit den Winzern und den Orgelpfeifen. ;-)
Welcome back Stefan! ...and what a lovely knife to show us on your return :-) I personally think that is a very elegant knife, although I do admit that it is a much simpler design than a traditional Laguiole. So, the knife is great, your review is great, the workshop looks great... what about the wine? Was that great too?
Thank you, Jim! A few weeks ago I ordered four bottles of Marcillac wine. The plan was to drink a glass of wine during the knife review. But when I finally got around to recording the video all four bottles were empty (as you can see at 0:56). Does this answer your question? ;-)
Does the blade edge rest against the backspring in the Liadou d'Albrac knife? By the way, I have seen knives like this in the Napa wine region of California but instead of being folding knives, they are fixed blades. Nearly identical in size and shape.
Friend, greetings from Brazil. You could answer me a question? I am Italo-Brazilian, and I wonder what are folding knives, Fixed Blade Knives, traditional of Italy ?? I ask this because here in Brazil our traditional knife is the knife Sorocabana. Thank you for your attention.
Unfortunately, there isn't a short answer to your question because there is a rich history of traditional Italian knives. For starters, take a look at the knives from Consigli (www.consigliscarperia.it/), Saladini (www.coltelleriasaladini.it/) and Berti (www.coltellerieberti.it/).
"coltello rasolino siciliano", "coltello sfilatino siciliano", "coltello sanfratellano". These are the first coming to my mind but there are many more. They were surely familiar tools for your ancestors particularly if they were, as I suppose, simple/working class people. There is also a typical "Neapolitan knife" but I am not familiar with it. Google is your friend!
The food is really interesting. The sausage looks so fatty, not sure about the red plant you're cutting, as the bread looks yummy. Makes me wish I traveled or at least tried other food.
There's an updated version of this video:

Vielen Dank für die Vorstellung; Le Liadou schient mir eine echte Bereicherung des Angebots zu sein.
The elegance of the simple lines of this knife is sublime .
Your videos always make me hungry! Nice review. Thanks for posting.

It's great to see a new review from you! Your videos have been very much missed :)
Nice knife and great to see another review from you Stefan.
A very warm welcome back!
Beautiful
Welcome home Stefan :-) Great to see a video from you again. A very good review and as always most enjoyable. Cheers, Mark.
Thank you, Mark!
***** A knife for tying things together, what a role reversal. This might be one of the most interesting patterns you've shown us.

Thank you, Claus! And it makes for a great conversation piece since it comes with a very interesting story.

You're more than welcome! ;-)
Love the grind of that blade
Great video, Stefan. I always enjoy your videos more than anything else on CZcams.
Thank you for your kind words!
Thanks, missed the videos!!

A new video finally :D , great work stefan!
I've missed seeing that sausage being sliced Stefan, your show is a welcome rest-bit from the normally tactically infested knife video world.
Beautiful blade shape and really nice simple knife - I see long service in role of knife for preparing appetizers....
Cheers!
unglaubliche videos!
As always, a very interresting review
Очень красивое видео как всегда, и ножик красивый

Wow!!

Hi Stefan, I love your videos! But I must ask, what type of sausage is that you're always cutting? It looks delicious!
***** It's some kind of French or Italian salami which is readily available in supermarkets.
and now I want some good bread and sausage
I admire you, do you talk any other language besides english, french and german?
My French is very rudimentary. I only speak German and English fluently.
The fact that the tip of the blade is above the pads and not hidden in a folded - bug or feature?
Stefan, can you do a video on Yssinggeaux knives?
Do you have a particular manufacturer in mind?
I have one with juniper scales, the cow’s head emblem and ysdingeaux on the blade. I do not know the manufacturer
I own the "5 Coqs" by Fontenille Pataud which is inspired by the Yssingeaux. I will probably review it at some point in the future.
in english dollars how much did it cost. i know it cost 98,00 €. but i was wondering what that is in dollars

alanvaladares where about are your roots in Italy (I mean which region)?
nino71 Napoli e la Sicilia

I enjoyed the very unfortunate detail that the vigneron in your video clearly gave himself a nasty cut in his thumb...
