As usual, great video! Amazing composition and scenario. The knives are also very beautiful, especially the Nature model with the exquisite Damascus pattern. Will be waiting for new videos.
Hello Stefan , they are beautifully made knives 👌 I just bought the U Cumpa knife and I can't wait to see it in person . Another great and informative review. Cheers 👍
I made the mistake of trying to get ready for work whilst watching the video. I could not look away. Another very good video, Stefan. The only Le Thiers knife I have with me (where I am currently) is my Le Thiers par Chambriard. I enjoy it so much but this makes me really miss my Fontenille Pataud!
Hey Stefan!! Thanks so much for your (as normal) great review! Man I'm already in love with the ironwood Nature model! (Haven't looked at the price though:-). Having seen your review on Le Compagnon by Chambriard, I purchased it, and I love it. Absolutely beautiful knife. That said, the lock back mechanism and the protective block that lets you snap the blade shut on these models is definitely a big winner for me. And now I'll go check the price! Thanks again.
Thank you for this beautiful video and a happy new year to you of course. I have a question for you if you don't mind. I am hesitating between two Thiers knife manufacturers, Chambriard and their Compagnon or Fontenille Pataud's Nature. I am not a collector, just looking for a good and well made table knife that I can use at home and in restaurants but as you know the prices for these knives are quite different... Chambriard's Compagnon price price seems almost too good to be true for the quality offered, what do you think about it as you've had the opportunity to have both of them in your hands?
If you choose a not so exotic handle material like, for example, olive wood the price difference isn't that much. The main difference is the fact that Fontenille Pataud's Nature model comes with a blade stop and a lockback, while Chambriard's Compagnon is a slipjoint without blade stop. If this isn't important to you go for the Chambriard Compagnon. The build quality of my Chambriard knives is excellent.
Thank you for the advice, Le Compagnon it is then! The main use for the knife being steak, saucisson and cheese cutting the lockback would be overkill, the blade stop would be a plus but not really important to me. Beste Grüße aus Japan.@@StefanSchmalhaus
@@williamsnyder1541, there's not much of a difference. Fontenille Pataud might have an edge (no pun intended) over Chambriard in terms of quality consistency.
Music was a little overbearing on this one, once you started talking I felt that volume should have stayed low instead of varying so much in volume. Otherwise this was as good as usual. No actually better than allot of your other stuff; the new format is great.
🇩🇪 Ich bin immer noch am hadern… direkt auf der Seite von Fontenille-Pataud bestellen, und dann mit dem Griffmaterial das ich möchte (Amourette), und RWL-34-Stahl? Oder doch nur die Hälfte ausgeben, und mit einem anderen Material bestellen und mit 14C28N leben (was sicherlich auch kein schlechter Stahl ist!). Hmmmm. 🇬🇧 Still struggling to decide… order directly from Fontenille-Pataud, and be able to choose the handle material I want (Amourette) and RWL-34 steel? Or rather only spend half, and accept getting a different handle and "just" 14C28N steel (which isn't a bad choice either, for sure!). Hmmmm.
You always make me hungry. Great video once again! Thanks so much and Tis the Season! Thumbs up!
Beautiful knives and beautiful video. Thank you, Stefan!

A really great video and beautiful knives!
Thank you!

Stefan, another enjoyable and informative review!
Thank you!
I definitely think I'm going to get myself Nature in oak for my birthday this year. Seems to be the most practical and affordable Le Thiers.
It's a gift for a lifetime.
I like the way those bolsters are designed - they feel like a shirt collar of the gentelman's suit. Same goes for Chambriard knives family.
I like your comparison to a shirt collar. 😉

Take a deep breath before you check the price of the gorgeous ironwood/damascus Nature! ;-)
Stefan Schmalhaus mmmmmm.... don't look like I'll be buying that for quite some time! Gee..that's even more expensive than the Grailer!
Sehr schönes Video... Klasse Messer... Und der Gute Käse... Lol
Vielen Dank!
I can only afford a Opinel or Douk-Douk! ☹️
13BRAVO REDLEG nothing wrong with those
Speed dating par excellence! 😉
I don't like wasting words, and I don't like repeating myself. ;-)
Richtig schöne Messer.
leider bisschen außerhalb meiner Preisklasse :(
Trotzdem danke fürs zeigen
Cheers!

Hey Stefan, do you prefer the F.P or Cambriard Le Thiers more? I am considering either the FP Pocket or Cambriard Mi-Jo/Compact.
That's a tough question. It's a matter of personal taste, so go with your gut feeling. Just bear in mind that the Compact is a slipjoint.
@@StefanSchmalhaus Are both knives equal in terms of fit&finish? How are the grinds on both blades?
@@williamsnyder1541, there's not much of a difference. Fontenille Pataud might have an edge (no pun intended) over Chambriard in terms of quality consistency.
@@williamsnyder1541, also, Fontenille Pataud is the more prestigious brand, if that is important to you.
@@StefanSchmalhaus I am looking for a knife for EDC that I can eventually pass down to my son at some point.
I always come away from these hungry....
Hola soy de Chile, donde consigues estás hermosas navajas? Y que precio tienen?
