French Knives : Fontenille-Pataud
In my opinion, Fontenille-Pataud makes the most beautiful European (not only French) production knives.
I'm fond of their skills.
They have Laguioles...
but not ONLY Laguioles :
(this Yssigeaux pattern is one of my favorites).
But you are allowed to prefer this Saint-Martin :
or this Corsican "vendetta" :
May I suggest you to have a look at their site

(in English) ?

Jean -Francois, How do you feel about the laguiole knives made by La Coutellerie de Laguiole/ Honore Durand? They make a 12cm full handle, "plein manche", in snakewood, "amourette", in ebony, and in black buffalo horn that I'm considering buying. Fontenille-Pataud doesn't offer the 12cm in a full handle style which I prefer, or at least not that I could find on their website.
This link is to the Honore Durand laguiole knives I'm considering:

Please let me know your thoughts, thanks.

I own a Laguiole and simply love it. Hand made in France.
