Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

[joesaintjohn]

My daily carry is a Lagiole En Aubrac. I got it in Provence and absolutely love it. I get more complements on it than any other accessory I own.

There are tons of nice Laguiole knives, but I think its a regional thing, like how Champaigne is made in Champaigne by various makers.  I have a really shitty quality Laguiloe knife, and have seen really nice ones as well.  Regarding history, anyone know the original brand?

I like the look of those but I have to be able to clip it on my pocket

I've got this set, really nice: http://www.heals.co.uk/cutlery/laguiole-six-piece-steak-knife-set/invt/842775?source=119_74

Would love an EDC too.

I love that Forge and Aubrac both use individual craftsmen and traditional methods. I've also seen some really cheap knives branded as Laguiole.

I just got a new Kershaw as a gift, and I'm kinda really in love with it. My wife has the smaller pink version of it.

Damn Tapatalk won't upload the pics, or I'd have 'em up.

Alex, that knife is beautiful!

Thinking about knives lately, and check out what I saw this morning on Uncrate…

^look into Chris Reeves small Sebenza is such an amazing knife

[joesaintjohn]

This is my "in the woods" daily carry. Wish I could wear it all the time.

[joesaintjohn]

Thanks Derivative, that Sebenza is amazing. I can't believe I'd never heard of them. So sick!

[Seul]

I'm thinking of writing some Romantic poetry about the Sebenza…

"Cut this rope, the only way to my heart..."

You know, real sappy stuff... Sebenza =

"Forged by the hands of Hotta-san, a blackmith based in the Tosa region of Shikoku (the smallest of the four major Japanese islands). Hotta-san's father — who recently passed away — was bestowed with high honors by the Japanese government and was proclaimed one of the top craftsmen in the land and a valued bearer of centuries of tradition. Both father and son worked closely thus the ancient forging methods and exceedingly high-level of detail that has epitomized the famed conventions of Japanese knife and sword making continues to flourish."

It's a Best Made Co partnership. They're an axe company out of Brooklyn. I also have this blade and use it all winter long…

Hmmmm, wonder if i'll be able to get on the plane back from New York with that in my hand luggage…..

Given the generally lackadaisical level of security by NYC area TSA employees, I'd say your odds aren't that bad, actually.
