Tradition and Precision: "Le Capuchadou" by Fontenille Pataud (Collection Highlight!)

- A must-see highlight of my knife collection!
The Thiers-based cutlery company Fontenille Pataud exists since the 1920s and has been known for quality cutlery throughout Europe, but when Gilles Steinberg bought the company in 1994 he gave it a completely new direction.
Mastermind and master craftsman Gilles Steinberg decided to return to the artisan methods of knife making. Today the company is known for its high-quality Laguiole knives. However, the craftsman and craftswomen at Fontenille Pataud do not only respect the tradition and the craft, they also introduced many innovations. For example, they offer Laguiole knives with a locking blade. Gilles Steinberg also came up with a very modern interpretation of the "Le Thiers" knife.

Fontenille Pataud set up an extra website for "Le Capuchadou":

Watch how the Capuchadou is made:

If you are interested in the history of the Laguiole knife and its predecessor, "Le Capuchadou", please refer to Christian Lemasson's excellent book "Histoire du couteau de Laguiole".
These knife videos are better than anything on television. Beautifully made .
I can see why you left this beauty till now. All the French knives you've shown are wonderful, but this really takes it to another level. The more I watched the more captivated I became. And to top it off the leather sheath appears to be designed to suit we left handed folk! I see from their website that they will ship to Australia, but oh my the price. Perhaps I might treat myself to one someday, maybe to celebrate something special. Thanks for the video Stefan
Most of us knife freaks would think using the knife would do it justice. That's the most attractive slip joint knife I've ever seen. =)
I finally ordered one it should be here soon thanks for the video I watched this video many years ago and I was reminded of it recently and I had to have one
Good decision! I'm sure you will enjoy the knife.
@@StefanSchmalhaus indeed
These manufacturers should pay you for producing these excellent reviews. They are much better than commercials. More informative and very compelling. Bravo!
Very beautiful 😃
My God, herr Schmalhaus, you really do spin a beautiful yarn. The fact that this knife made you feel something very deep and special really shone through the video. Beyond a doubt your best work yet, the care in making that knife is surely matched by the care shown when making this video (and what a grand choice in music!). Bravo, my friend, bravo!
Ive started collecting French knives because of your great reviews.Brilliant
Le Capuchadou is clearly the "star" of all your videos. I will get one for myself soon. Thank you for your videos who are also small "hommages à la France".
Thank you for your very kind words!
Dear Stefan, quick technical question: what sharpening material do you use for your pocket knives?
@@olivieros4181 I use the Spyderco Sharpmaker.
Bewitched! BMW analogy works for me. Pretty tool.
Vous êtes rempli de l'essence du terroir français! J'adore vos vidéos!
Merci beaucoup pour vos aimables paroles!
Du meine Güte! Eine überwältigende Qualität eines Reviews. Perlen in CZcams. Aufrichtigen Dank für diese Arbeit!
Somehow your videos keep getting better and better. The Capuchadou is a beautiful work of art. I would like very much if you made a video showing your entire collection.
The Fontenille Pataud company should put this video on their website!
That knife is truly a work of art.
WOW, what a gorgeous slipjoint. Stefan, I don't know how you do it, but you get the best knives in the world and make the best videos about them. PERIOD. Very impressive indeed.
BEAUTIFUL !!!!
I was looking to get this pocket knife for my 40th Birthday. Your excellent review has cemented my decision, thank you.
Your productions couldn't be nicer ! Perhaps one could never really become bored with such a knife collection to marvel at ;) Lovin it !
Vor ein paar Wochen besuchten wir Thiers und meine Frau war von dem Capuchadou Guilloché so begeistert, dass sie es mir als nobles Geburtstagsgeschenk kaufte. Ich hatte es mir wegen Deines wunderbaren Berichtes bei Chambriard zeigen lassen. Leider darf ich es noch nicht tragen, dazu muss ich bis zum Geburtstag warten. In meinem Alter freut man sich im allgemeinen nicht mehr auf Geburtstage ...
Ich wünsche Dir viel Freude mit dem Messer!
An accurate and elegant review.
Thank You.
das was wirklich "incredible" ist, ist das was ich immerwieder von dir über Messer lernen kann. Wuuuunderschönes Messer. Einfach Wunderschön! Danke und lieben Gruss aus der Heimat ! ;-)
and another beautiful review, danke Herr Schmalhaus!
WOW! What a knife!
Bon appétit mon ami. Such a beauty. A real work of art.
Nice knife!!
I just sent one of my designs to Willem O'Kelly (K'roo knives)
It's my first custom and I'm very excited :D
Green dyed giraffe bone handles, 3cm long 2.5mm thick nickel silver bolsters (both pinned to the liner as a secondary attachment point aside from the pivot), 1.5mm thick brass liners, stainless backspring and bail and a 3mm thick O1 tool steel blade.
It is a small (9cm closed) slipjoint, but I designed it to perform way above it's size.
I call it the Baby Bear Barlow, small yet strong and it is a barlow pattern.
@AussieMark909 Yes, it's hard to top this knife unless you want to go really crazy with exotic and precious materials. As for the price, it's still a lot less expensive than a Sebenza. With a Sebenza you get a masterpiece of precision, but the Capuchadou is a knife with a heart and a soul.
Thankyou for another excellent presentation .Your hard work is greatly appreciated by myself as a knife enthusiast.Best wishes Chris.
Thank you for your very kind words!
Absolutely beautiful knife, in every detail, thanks for sharing it, friend. Simply beautiful.
Simply gorgeous.
You are welcome, Jesse! Thanks for stopping by.
Thank you for your very kind words!
Another excellent review, Stefan--thanks!
Beautiful knives. Great review. Thanks.
Beautiful knife. A great video as always, Stefan
I enjoy your reviews very much
I can almost feel the tradition and style! :-) What a great video!
Dear Stefan,
I know Richard Sossler very well (and have many capuchadou). Thanks for this great video.
The successor (FONTENILLE PATAUD) did a great work !
Bravo
As has been already said, another excellent video. I enjoy the product of your considerable skill and efforts.
What a stunning looking knife. Thanks for sharing :)
Another beautiful knife and outstanding review.
Thanks =)
great review great knife
@Roosterdad50 I spoke before I looked. Went back and watched video. Nice collection. : )
@FreyerWind Vielen Dank für Deine netten Worte!
@903lew Thank you, David! The first version of this video was 5 minutes longer because there is so much more to tell. But I had to compress the story to keep it interesting. Part of the challenge in making these documentary-like knife reviews is to decide what to leave out.
Ein Meisterwerk der Handwerkskunst, selbiges gilt aber auch Deine Vorstellung. Perfekt!
Und meiner Frau zeige ich das bestimmt nicht ;)
Great video Stefan !
& a famous knive by a great manufacture.
Fontenille Pataud provided a really good job ! ( as usually ! )
And if you love beautiful Laguiole, you must discover one another great artisan in Laguiole :
" Vent d'Aubrac "
tschüss !
Allways a real pleasure to view You're great presentations :-) Everytime it makes me wish for a new knife.
Thank You for great work ;-)
Best wishes from Norway !
@elbowroomtube Thank you for your kind words!
very nice knife!
That knife is exquisite.I would not hesitate to use it often.The handle scales are beautiful and easier to maintain than any wood. Stefan, are J.A. Henkel kitchen knives considered Germanys finest kitchen cutlery?
@inisch Danke, Markus!
@ErikNice Thank you!
watching this video makes me think about going back to Europe...
@Naturliebe Danke, Tito! Den Part mit dem Käse und dem Rotwein hatte ich schon Wochen vor dem eigentlichen Review gedreht, davon ist schon lange nichts mehr übrig.
@TonicLime1 Thanks for watching!
I laughed at "stuck in fingerprint hell." It's a pretty knife. I may have to get one of my own.
@scottsano Thanks for watching!
Beautifull.
@stschmalhaus Just Placed my order, the 12cm Le Capuchadou in Water Buffalo, with the Lapis Lazuli inlay, You made a great choice with this variant, I ordered the RWL-34 Steel. I didn't purchase a sheath though, I will put this in my pocket with my wallet. Thanks for the review and the wonderful information.
@Roosterdad50 The collection has grown a little bit since I did my collection video.
😍
excellent video, as usual! could you please show at least a picture with the le capuchadou against gentleman folder from fontenille?
thanks again for the information, i've come to know a more elegant side of knives.
It is very nice indeed. I wonder a bit if I'd like the handholding because of the very curved handle.
@Schmidt54 Thank you!
What a work of art my friend. Love your choice of European blades. I am going to have to research this brand more.
On a completely off note, have you checked out the Swiss brand Klotzli? Very high quality, with a modern twist.
Thank you very much for your good review and the quality (as usual) of your video.
My question: how do you clean your knife after use?
@stephan123321 Das SRM 704 steht noch auf meiner Review-Liste.
@GSMSoSV Thank you!
@Nebulax123 I watched some of your videos. I really like the fixed blade you did for Wako.
@victorinoxfan I don't own a Klötzli but I've watched MrDagon007's videos on his Klötzlis. Indeed, they look splendid.
i did buy one just because of you 😁
i kost that stone inlay but knife is nice anyway
Thanks for letting me know! I'm glad you like the knife.
Thanks for the hard work you put into your videos. This knife is beautiful, but I'm more of a fan of the Chambriard knives.
Peace
@SpydieFan Which handle material did you go for?
You're a pretty good producer. You could sell a storm or ice to Eskimos.
Which fixed blade? As far as I remember, the only fixed blades in this video are those ancient knives from the 19th century.
Stefan, I am curious about where you are from. At first assumption and due to your excellent grasp of English, I assumed German or Austrain. However, after hearing you use French, I am leaning a bit towards Swiss. Just something I thought about during the review, and again, excellent job!
your videos make me want to take my girlfriend on a picnic. i love the footage of food prep.
@MrDagon007 As soon as you hold it in your hand all your doubts are gone. ;-)
Ich mach es kurz...der YT Kanal "stschmalhaus"...is definitive one of the finest channels on You Tube!
Das Messer ist natürlich ein Werkzeug erster Güte,man sieht dem Griff geradezu an,das er eine Handlage voller Sicherheit vermittelt!
Stark,mein Freund!Bald wirst du ein "Brainstorming" machen müssen...Videos wie dieses werden schwer zu toppen sein!
Vielleicht ein Zweitwohnsitz in Österreich...dann ein Balisong-Video mit Gastauftritt von Jeff (Cuterlylover)! *Lach*
Hau rein! :-)
It really is very nice, I think I would be afraid to use it.
@stschmalhaus
Schlichte Videos zu Sanrenmu sind mir auch willkommen...besser als meine "Sagtirgendetwaszueinemmesser" Videos! LOL ;-)
Hast du von den SRM's schon eines im Auge?
Das neue 728 ist wirklich fein....für ein günstig/maschinell gefertigtes Messer versteht sich!
Ciao
Amazing video, I an going to go now and order the knife. I just can't decide between the Dark Ram Horn or Water Buffalo, both look very similar, any thought?
My problem, is with the size. Only mini pocket knives are really comfortable for me to carry--wish they had one of these a lot smaller.
I will though order it in RWL-34 blade steel, no issue with the 12c27, but it's not much more for a modern super steel, so why not?
The problem is you would never want to use it - so what is the point (no pun intended).
If you don't want to use the knife you can still enjoy it.
what is the price of the fixed blade model?
@RioDeLaNorte Danke!
How much is the knife at minute 8:00 is available on website?
I'm not sure what you mean. It's still the Capuchadou at minute 8:00.
@stephan123321 Och, ich setze mich da nicht unter Druck. Ich habe nicht den Anspruch, dass jedes Video besser oder spektakulärer sein muss als das vorangegangene. Du wirst in Zukunft auch ganz schlichte Reviews zu schlichten Messern sehen. Ein einfaches Sanrenmu gibt halt nicht so viel her wie ein geschichtsträchtiges Edelmesser von Fontenille Pataud.
@hjphillips123456 Thank you!
@MrDbroad It's all these wives who thumb down my videos. LOL
@SpydieFan They are all gorgeous. I'm afraid I can't help you. ;-)
7:54 Ha! You know it.
My accent is distinctively German. Your first guess was correct.
How can I order
@DickPoleman Are you planning to become a farmer in the Aubrac region? LOL
"You are in fingerprint hell"
@stschmalhaus Da gibt es durchaus gewisse Parallelen im Verhalten meinerseits:
Sabbernd und hechelnd vorm Monitor sitzen und schnell wegklicken, wenn die Frau reinkommt :D
@6leafdom We live in the 21st century. There's nothing wrong with being hooked up to European knives. LOL
