I have a few Laguioles, though none ‘real’ I imagine. Copies most likely. I love that one you show here. It’s a more faithful representation of the traditional Laguiole. Thanks for the video. 👍🇬🇧
Awesome content overall 👏 I'm South African too.. Into knives too and i really digg the other content on your page..nostalgic and pure.. I have a Lagoiule style knife in Damascus steel,brass bolsters and Buffalo horn handles scales Awesome knife made by Inyhati knives. Does the fly get glued on on the backspring? From my understanding authentic Lagoiule knives the bee or fly gis a one piece with the backspring of the knife.
Thanks for the comments. You get it :) Yeah, in authentic ones, the bee is carved from the backspring itself. In cheaper ones, it's soldered/welded on afterwards.
The village of Laguiole is in Midi-Pyrénées (Occitanie) but Thiers is in Auvergne (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes). So in fact it's not exactly the same region. There's a french society called "Pradel-France" located in the north of the country and producing cooking tools, but I think that "Pradel-Auvergne" is more a fake company than anything else. Thx for the video and congratulation for your Fontenille Pataud, very nice knife.
No, it's not a fly. It is indeed meant to be a bee. The reason it is often referred to as a fly is because that is the purpose it is serving. In France at least, the name for the broadened end of a slipjoint spring is a 'fly'. In a Laguiole, the 'fly' is in the shape of a bee. One other small thing. I have a very high quality Laguiole purchased in Paris in 1999, which has no christian cross and has the 'fly' welded to the spring. Go figure. I enjoyed your video very much. Thank you.
The Fontinelle Pataud "Nature" knife? Their design introduces a few innovations on the classic Laguiole design including a locking mechanisms that you release by pushing down on the metal piece at the end of the knife. See here: th-cam.com/video/s_UEI_rXgiY/w-d-xo.html
Interesting and well made video!
