These manufacturers should pay you for producing these excellent reviews. They are much better than commercials. More informative and very compelling. Bravo!
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
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".
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!
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
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.
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.
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 ! ;-)
@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.
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 ...
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
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.
@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.
@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.
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 !
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.
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?
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 !
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.
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?
@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.
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! :-)
@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.
@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
@stschmalhaus Da gibt es durchaus gewisse Parallelen im Verhalten meinerseits: Sabbernd und hechelnd vorm Monitor sitzen und schnell wegklicken, wenn die Frau reinkommt :D
A matter of opinion. I'm a graphic designer so I'm pretty picky about typography. "Capuchadou" appears to be hand drawn rather than a font. For me, it has an old world charm like what I would expect to see on a sign for an artisan French bakery.
These knife videos are better than anything on television. Beautifully made .
These manufacturers should pay you for producing these excellent reviews. They are much better than commercials. More informative and very compelling. Bravo!

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.
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!

Good decision! I'm sure you will enjoy the knife.
@@StefanSchmalhaus indeed
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. =)
Ive started collecting French knives because of your great reviews.Brilliant
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.
Du meine Güte! Eine überwältigende Qualität eines Reviews. Perlen in TH-cam. Aufrichtigen Dank für diese Arbeit!
Very beautiful 😃

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!
Another excellent review, Stefan--thanks!
BEAUTIFUL !!!!
The Fontenille Pataud company should put this video on their website!
An accurate and elegant review.
Thank You.
That knife is truly a work of art.
WOW! What a knife!
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 ! ;-)
Your productions couldn't be nicer ! Perhaps one could never really become bored with such a knife collection to marvel at ;) Lovin it !
Amazing video. Love these knives! 😍
@@techichi2406 Thank you!
I was looking to get this pocket knife for my 40th Birthday. Your excellent review has cemented my decision, thank you.
Bon appétit mon ami. Such a beauty. A real work of art.
Thankyou for another excellent presentation .Your hard work is greatly appreciated by myself as a knife enthusiast.Best wishes Chris.

Absolutely beautiful knife, in every detail, thanks for sharing it, friend. Simply beautiful.

@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.
Beautiful knife. A great video as always, Stefan
As has been already said, another excellent video. I enjoy the product of your considerable skill and efforts.
I enjoy your reviews very much
I can almost feel the tradition and style! :-) What a great video!
Thank you for your kind words!
@FreyerWind Vielen Dank für Deine netten Worte!
@inisch Danke, Markus!
@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.
What a stunning looking knife. Thanks for sharing :)
Another beautiful knife and outstanding review.
Thanks =)
great review great knife
@elbowroomtube Thank you for your kind words!
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.
It is very nice indeed. I wonder a bit if I'd like the handholding because of the very curved handle.
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 !
very nice knife!
excellent video, as usual! could you please show at least a picture with the le capuchadou against gentleman folder from fontenille?

@Roosterdad50 The collection has grown a little bit since I did my collection video.
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?
Beautifull.
Ein Meisterwerk der Handwerkskunst, selbiges gilt aber auch Deine Vorstellung. Perfekt!
Und meiner Frau zeige ich das bestimmt nicht ;)
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 !
@Roosterdad50 I spoke before I looked. Went back and watched video. Nice collection. : )
@Schmidt54 Thank you!
@stephan123321 Das SRM 704 steht noch auf meiner Review-Liste.
@GSMSoSV Thank you!
@SpydieFan Which handle material did you go for?
@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.
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?
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.
@MrDagon007 As soon as you hold it in your hand all your doubts are gone. ;-)
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?
@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.

😍
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.
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!
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?
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.
Which fixed blade? As far as I remember, the only fixed blades in this video are those ancient knives from the 19th century.

@TonicLime1 Thanks for watching!
what is the price of the fixed blade model?
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.
@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
It really is very nice, I think I would be afraid to use it.
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
your videos make me want to take my girlfriend on a picnic. i love the footage of food prep.
You're a pretty good producer. You could sell a storm or ice to Eskimos.
7:54 Ha! You know it.
@MrDbroad It's all these wives who thumb down my videos. LOL
How can I order
@SpydieFan They are all gorgeous. I'm afraid I can't help you. ;-)
My accent is distinctively German. Your first guess was correct.
@RioDeLaNorte Danke!
@hjphillips123456 Thank you!
"You are in fingerprint hell"
@DickPoleman Are you planning to become a farmer in the Aubrac region? LOL
@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
@Nick191175 LOL Ich komme mir fast vor wie ein Pornoproduzent, dessen Videos von Männern heimlich geguckt werden.
For me it is totally ruined by that ugly typeface on the blade... is that really comic sans???? Why???
A matter of opinion. I'm a graphic designer so I'm pretty picky about typography. "Capuchadou" appears to be hand drawn rather than a font. For me, it has an old world charm like what I would expect to see on a sign for an artisan French bakery.
