Great lines and I love the way the blade meets the bolster of the knife when closed: it's one arcing line. Also like the semi matte finish on the bolsters. The use of the entire bolster to unlock the blade is a great idea as well. So much easier to engage one big thing than something thinner and smaller. Finally, it's good to see a return to that blade shape. Not pointy with a long belly but a strong tip.
Your videos are terrific! You review great knives I've never heard of and wouldn't know anything about otherwise. I now have a list of French knives from your videos that I plan to purchase. Thanks!
Indeed, the part I have been waiting for! 🍷🧀🥖😊 It’s a beautiful knife. I would never use it, like my FP backlock onehand opening Laguiole in black horn. But they are beautiful. Another brand which I really like because of esthetics is the maker of the Parisien… Just can’t remember the name right now. Would love one of these knives. But, as stated here above, i would never use it. Thanks for the video. Edit: Strolling through your video feed I found that manufacturer, Perceval. Sooooo nice.
Clearly a handsome knife, but also the most interesting back-lock I've ever seen. I would never have guessed it even had a lock just by its appearance. Excellent review.
@@sam2cents There are already so many videos out there that explain the various locking mechanisms. Also, I dedicated an entire chapter of my book to the most common locking mechanisms.
@@StefanSchmalhaus I have your book and I love it. However, I meant more the way they put them in - the one above is a lock-back, but beautifully disguised.
Great video. I like FP designs, they all seem so elegant. Got 2 open orders with them at the moment. Also their customer service/communication is excellent. I also love their Magnum series corkscrews.
@@StefanSchmalhaus oh I learned that trick a long time ago when you made me buy several Thiers models, the Fantoni Dweller, a Lionsteel.... my wife blames "that German knife book guy" for it all!!
@@StefanSchmalhaus Thanks, I presumed you made your purchases from elsewhere. Btw I noticed there's a compass logo on the blade. Are they freemasons by any chance?
Nul n'est prophète en son pays. Il serait peut-être temps que je m'intéresse à la coutellerie française. Merci pour la présentation de ce joli couteau.
Hömma, ich weiß nich, watt mit meine Stimme los is. Viellaich is datt der Altersstimmbruch. Man steckt ja nich drin in sonne Stimme. Schöne Grüße aussem Ruhrpott!
