Back to the Roots: Laguiole en Aubrac Ancestral

[@BBGJG]

You keep making me add knives to the list that I want for my collection. I love the knives you review, and the way you do it. Thanks for another great one.

[@SergeySus]

Thanks for opening my eyes to such a fantastic knife. Also, what I like about your videos is the important history. Really terrific.

[@AussieMark909]

A wonderful knife. I love the sense of history, and in some ways prefer it's looks to it's more exotic siblings. The true beauty of the basic design shines through here. Yet another fantastic look at French knives, thanks Stefan, your efforts are very much appreciated.

[@BardofCornwall]

A lovely knife. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@BhamJames]

I enjoy your videos quite a lot, Stefan. Thank you for the historical information!

[@Bear5177]

I love these reviews of all of these regional knives, each knife has its own character and some with a great deal of history. Thank you for another outstanding review.

[@ErikNice]

Simple, classic, gorgeous. Wish it was readily available on this side of the pond. As always, a superb review - and appetizing!

[@123dexter321]

A beautiful knife and lot of facts and information wrapped up in an very entertaining viedeo. Good job.

[@fredde90210]

You are by far the best reviewer on youtube

[@stephan123321]

Du bist ein cooler Typ,Stefan....deine kurzen Anrworten bügelst du 100fach wieder mit deinen großartigen Videos aus! :-D Ciao Stephan :-)

[@Baasicstuff]

love it

[@victorinoxfan]

Another great review. I really need to get some more traditional European pocketknives. The history behind them is very interesting.

[@nishville]

Lovely knife. Thank you for a history lesson.

[@mrmonkeyman50]

Ah! Knifemaking before marketing - and it was marketing that gave collectors the reason to collect. Another very cool, nuanced video, Herr Doktor. When can we expect at least one or two reviews of tactical beverages and bread? Es ist die Saison für das Essen, nachdem alle! Vielen Dank für das Video treat!

[@edgedweapon88]

Outstanding work, Stefan! Keep the vids coming!

[@antikoerper256]

What a splendid review full of information sir, cheers to Laguiole and cheers to you!

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Hahaha! I watched two of your videos. You have a very good technique. I've never tried to open a bottle of champagne with a saber.

[@richardjonsson1745]

Thank You! Indeed a very nice video and very good content.

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Thank you, Keelen! No worries, more videos are on the way.

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

No, I'm sure I couldn't tell them apart if there wasn't the company logo somewhere on the blade. Fontenille Pataud, Forge de Laguiole, Honore Durand, Laguiole en Aubrac and a dozen other traditional French cutlery companies do some outstanding work. Their handmade knives are usually all very well manufactured.

[@eight2003]

So I’ve recently been looking at buying a laguiole en aubrac and see that come with certificates of authenticity and some don’t what’s your thoughts on certificates and did your aubrac come with them or is It just a gimmick

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Of course, manufacturers and retailers want to reassure their customers that their products are authentic. But in the end, a certificate is just a piece of paper. Frankly, I don't care much about certificates. I only buy from trustworthy retailers. Admittedly, I'm in a privileged position because as a journalist for a German knife magazine, I know many manufacturers and retailers personally. My advice is to only buy from authorized retailers. And if you are in doubt ask the manufacturer if it is safe to buy from retailer XYZ.

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@Tjolbi]

Excellent video as always.

[@MaxCastles]

Any idea were one could get one of these in the States?

[@C172Pilotdude]

I cannot find it online. How much does it go for anyway ?

[@joshuasvinarich4282]

Im having trouble finding an english website that sells these, any suggestions?

[@MikeAutomaton1980]

Beautiful video.

[@presterjohn71]

Another great review. I really must get around to adding at least one Laguiole style knife to my collection of slippy's.

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Thank you, Mark!

[@Muscarial]

I learn something today, thanks

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Thanks for watching, Doggo!

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

You could ask Laguiole en Aubrac retailers like laguiole-city(dot)com to get you this specific model.

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Indeed, an empty bottle of wine and a few days old, dry and hard baguette can be dangerous weapons. - I'm glad you enjoyed the video, my friend!

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Vielen Dank, Stephan!

[@stephan123321]

Schmalhaus & Naturliebe....tztztz....immer diese Säufer hier auf YT! *Lachduckundweg* ;-DDD

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Thank you!

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Der Sachverhalt ist etwas komplizierter. Der Inhaber von Laguiole en Aubrac hat sich vor einigen Jahren mit seinem privaten Vermögen an der Rettung der Forge beteiligt. Einen Einfluss auf die Geschäftspolitik gibt es jedoch nicht, im Gegenteil, beide Firmen stehen in einem scharfen Wettbewerb.

[@stephan123321]

Das war ja klar....nach meinem Bukowski Video....konnte es nur so enden....du bist mal wieder am saufen! *LOL* ;-D Sehr dezentes Laguiole....feines Schneidwerkzeug...immer ein Video wert diese Messer! Liebe Grüße Stephan

[@cartouchei9446]

very nice knife. i enjoyed it. i did find it, but it is to pricey for me

[@cartouchei9446]

hi! i did find one! thank you i really love it feels as good in the hand as it looks

[@KennethKramm]

Thanks for this review.

[@mesut-gg8ej]

Geil einfach geil liebe messer 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Thanks for watching!

[@stephan123321]

Du sollst nicht immer so übersprudeln,bei deinen "Antworten"! ;-) Ich wünsche dir ein schönes Wochenende...mit Sonnenschein! :-) LG Stephan :-)

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

LOL - Ich habe damit ein wirkliches Problem. Du und Tito, ihr schreibt immer ellenlange Kommentare, und ich sitze da und denke, eigentlich müsste ich mir die Mühe machen, ebenfalls mit einem langen Kommentar zu antworten. Und dann fällt mir nichts ein...

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

The fact that a knife is called "Texas Toothpick" pretty much says it all. LOL

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Ich war nach dem Foto-Shooting und den Filmaufnahmen besoffen, weil ich nebenher die Flasche Bordeaux geleert habe.

[@MaxCastles]

Thanks

[@FBO1104]

Das erste Laguiole das mir wirklich gefällt

[@TheHuginMunin]

Nice vid as always. - Thanks for 3 reasons: I have to confess, that I never took a liking in Laguiole-knifes because of the hype in general and the handle-shape in particular. (Latent misogyny?) So the Ancestral offers an appealing alternative. 2. The link to Brandners Webshop. 3. Visiting their webside, I found an Laguiole en Aubrac with a scallop symbol instead of a bee, which reconciles with the ugly handle shape. - Loking foreward for your new vids!

[@TheLASZL0]

ich dachte forge de laguiole und laguiole en aubrac sind geschwisterfirmen

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

No, I'm sorry.

[@PaladinJenkis]

Zhe akzent iz az djerman az it kenn gets! Just kidding, nice video! I wich there weren't as much fakes out there :( And by fake i mean the knives ofc!

[@alecwood6512]

@@pter7531 Ich war schon häufig in Frankreich und habe schon oft Franzosen Brotstücke abschneiden sehen, zugegeben noch nie solch dünne Scheiben vom Baguette. ;o)
