Le St. Jacques

[@grahamarcher2729]

Hi Stefan, Thank you for another wonderful video! I have walked the Camino de Santiago twice, the first time in 2015 with my daughter, and again in 2018, this time alone. I walked from St. Jean Pied de Port, on the French side of the Pyrenees to Santiago de Compostela in Spain, about 500 miles. Almost everyone on the pilgrimage carries a scallop shell. Both times I carried a Swiss army knife and used it every day to cut bread and cheese etc. I wish that I had known about the Le St. Jacques knife before my hike, as it would of been a wonderful companion. If I ever go back to walk the Camino again, I shall take one with me! Regards from the UK!

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Thanks for sharing your Camino de Santiago experience!

[@shellmaker10]

Every time I watch one of your "knife" reviews I gain ten pounds. I hope the knife manufacturers appreciate the quality of your reviews. Both for the content and the production values. They could learn a lesson.

[@brunocarbone2161]

I have to complement you on your high quality and interesting videos. They are so very classy and informative and done with a passion and appreciation for all knives. It's great to see them put into use for your classy introductions. Better than seeing them cut cardboard like most North American reviews. I look forward to enjoying more of them. I've always loved traditional knives like grandpa carried.

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

+Bruno Carbone Thank you very much for your kind words!

[@drbirtles]

I really enjoy your videos. The beautiful knives you present, the history and the quality of your videos really make a wonderful change from the "tactical" theme currently in vogue. Thank you.

[@silverseto1158]

Always great seeing a video from you Stefan

[@simartnullnet]

Very nice! Love the food prep at the intro, awesome French knife. Thanks!

[@ivarwb4115]

Your talent for tasteful presentations impresses me again and again! You really bring new aspects to the word "aesthetics"!

[@555Gear]

Delicious introduction and fascinating history! Congrats on another fabulous video!

[@mitchm331]

I totally agree. I am always left hungry after viewing any of Stefan's videos!! And his reviews are always of the highest quality!

[@GustavoHernandez1]

+555 Gear This is the kind of quality we all want to have in our videos, it's amazing how Stefan dedicates such a long time in research and production and you can feel it when you watch the video

[@mistersmith3986]

Great knives. So, what's for desert?

[@ima4ster]

You set a high bar for knife reviews.

[@zoo2you]

Agreed. Nicely done.

[@2dividedby3equals666]

It is always good to hear from you!!! The knife and review are fantastic as expected!! LG 2/3

[@dirkvandeputte198]

I ordered one via the link to offer it to my best friend who will leave to Santiago. Excellent service, I received the knife within 5 days 👍

[@Grummash]

An excellent review Stefan, and a very lovely knife. I'm glad to see that you haven't stopped making knife review videos :-)

[@pmwheatley]

Your videos make me hungry. I'd like to hear a review of this food!

[@axel22lr]

As always, wonderful video. Thank's for making videos of our french knife Take care

[@PrimalMoan]

Another great review Stefan, keep them coming

[@AussieMark909]

Another beautifully shot video. Knives and cheese, two of my favorite things. Should I ever find myself in Germany I plan to drop by for a snack ;-) Best wishes to you Stefan.

[@johnrycroft4855]

Great video, very well done sir!

[@stephan123321]

....der Weichkäse...das knusprige Brot...die berühmte Salami....doch,doch,war alles drinnen....ein original Schmalhaus-Video! ;-) Das St.Jacques gefällt mir ausnehmend gut,auch aufgrund der mir sehr sympathischen Länge. Dazu dann noch die Historie....wunderbar....möchte man sich gleich kaufen. Schön das mal wieder was von dir kam,Stefan. Peace, Stephan

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

+stephan123321 Das Intro des nächsten Videos wird vom Stil her anders ausfallen...

[@belgiboy1]

I loved the video as always. I received my St Jacques knife today and it's very pretty but I'm trying to read between the lines of your review. Are you a little disappointed in it? Should they have used a different steel? I agree that the back spring is pretty tight but that should get better with use and personally I don't mind the screws in the handle. The scales and the liners are very well done but maybe not quite as perfect as my Fontenille Pataud.

[@danielm7585]

That cheese, and bread looked fantastic! I have a knife with the bumble bee, and a cork screw. with birds eye Damascus, and warthog scales. I think its called a LaQuille.

[@a.lange.]

Thank you Stefan! Love your reviews. Always want to buy a knife after watching you :)

[@Dronston]

Always a pleasure to watch your reviews! Beautiful knives. The Juniper version seems to have some space between the spring and liners?

[@sharpdad33]

I'm torn between this and the P45 Berthier model. Are you familiar with the model? Great vid!

[@l8tbraker]

Mon dieu! Those cheeses looked delicious. Great presentation as usual. Nice music as well. The cathedral at Santiago de Compostela, completed in 1211, is very impressive.

[@missiontent111]

Any chance of a lunch invite .........??

[@guycalgary7800]

Your videos are amazing, beautifully lit, great music , entertaining and educational , and always make me hungry.

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@Chris-yy4xc]

Das Essen ist ebeso lecker, wie die Qualität des Taschenmessers!!!! Danke fürs zeigen. Ich hab jetzt hunger ;)

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

+Chris BC Dann iss was. ;-)

[@josefpennauer3332]

Hallo Stefan, wie gewohnt ein Review das Appetit macht, großartige Arbeit.Ich habe nur Sorge, dass wenn du so weiter machst: 1. du bald an schwerem Übergewicht leiden wirst und 2. ich an einem gewissen Messer-Übergewicht ...Liebe Grüße

[@stefanwolf88]

Maestro - outstanding video as usual.

[@brainache555]

Very professional reviews! Best i have ever seen. Anywhere

[@joachimseefisch914]

I was conflicted.... cheese... knife... cheese... knife?

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

+cyclist01222 Just enjoy both! ;-)

[@CedricAda]

Beautiful knife

[@Ceetvair]

Thanks for making me mad hungry :D

[@Claus-L.Mueller]

Moin Stefan, es wird für mich zunehmend (im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes) schwerer zu entscheiden, ob nun die appetitlich zubereiteten Speisen oder das dafür genutzte Messer mein Hauptaugenmerk verdienen sollte. ;) Ich mag die einfache Art des Messers. Sie passt zu seinem Namen. Es ist anscheinend wieder ein Messer das lieber leise geschlossen werden will - oder? Mir fiel auf, dass du es zunächst leicht zuklappen ließest, während du danach besonders darauf bedacht schienst, die Klinge sehr vorsichtig zu schließen. Wie bei den meisten, klassischen Messern aus Frankreich, ist mir auch das St. Jacques etwas zu lang, um es in meine Rotation, der am meisten getragenen Taschenmesser, aufnehmen zu wollen. Aber für ein zünftiges Abendbrot oder für den Fall, dass ich tatsächlich mal auf den Wegen mit den Jacobsmuscheln wandeln sollte, ist es sicher eine gute Option. LG Claus

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

+Claus-L. Müller (CLMac66) Hallo Claus! Vielen Dank für Deinen ausführlichen Kommentar! Tatsächlich könnte man das St. Jacques mit Karacho zuschnappen lassen, ohne dass die Klinge auf die Feder schlüge. Ich habe es mir aber inzwischen angewöhnt, grundsätzlich jedes Slipjoint-Messer behutsam zu schließen.

[@guyfromsac1]

Another great review - thanks!

[@TheBladeluster]

I think I just saw an entire weeks wages go past my eyes, just with the cheeses food! You can keep the sausage, and the blue cheeses though :P

[@alfptah5853]

Nicee:)

[@Hissatsu5]

I'm more of a tactical knife guy but I all ways enjoyed your videos on traditional European blades witch we in the US don't hear to much about Witch is unfortunate

[@Rcking1110]

Good stuff. Thank you.

[@michaelstuerz5333]

Moin Stefan, schön, mal wieder etwas von Dir zu sehen 😉 Sehr schöne Vorstellung, eines sehr schönen Messers! Wo kann ich es in D beziehen? Liebe Grüße, micha!

+Michael Stuerz Hallo Michael! Vielen Dank! Die Bezugsquelle in Deutschland ist Messerkontor: messerkontor.de/produkt-kategorie/taschenmesser/le-st-jacques/

[@Messerschaerfen]

@Claus-L. Also ich würde mich für das edle Messer entscheiden ;)

[@jakesterofawesum2994]

HOW MANY CHEESES ARE THERE???

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

+jakesterofawesum I eat them, I don't count them. ;-)

[@timstanks9192]

God dammit now I'm hungry and have to go buy some brie! bastard!

[@schnorres58]

Das Messer ist klasse,Dein Frühstück aber auch,LG Christoph

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

+schnorres58 Das war das zweite Frühstück. ;-)

[@1crimm]

top notch

[@brunocarbone2161]

Your welcome, too bad there are not that many distributors in Canada to get a good quality or unique French, German, or Italian pocket knife. Regards.

[@karlbernz]

[@m00nsplitter72]

I believe your compatriot, Anne-Sophie Mutter, is presently on the final leg of the pilgrimage route. I doubt that she has a knife with her. Thank you for another fine presentation. Religious symbolism is always interesting, and perhaps your interpretations are indeed the correct ones.

[@l8tbraker]

+M00nsplitter Google Shell of Saint James

[@m00nsplitter72]

+l8tbraker I have just done so and there appears to be many possible explanations and legends. Of course Leviticus also springs to mind.
