From the South of France: Le Camarguais

[@frankidoodle]

Altes Video, aber immer noch zeitlos, wie das wunderschöne Messer :-)

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Vielen Dank!

[@Isatis4ch92]

Hallo Stefan, I am a frenchman (but with a german mother). Everytime I watch your videos about french knives, it seems to me you like France more than a lot of my citizens do. "Leben wie Gott in Frankreich" says the expression. Thanks for cheering up my mind. I am going to pull out one of my french iron fry pan and cook something. BTW ,my father was a baker and I make knives as hobby, lucky me... Keep up the well done videos, always a pleasure to watch, you set the limit quite high. Olivier

Stefan Schmalhaus you a true asset to the knife community and one of my very favorite "reviewers". Thank you for all your hard work and BEAUTIFUL videos!

[@goodbadben]

i sure enjoy your videos. keep 'em coming. 👍

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Thank you! I will.

[@jamespeters5913]

Great video...I went to the mentioned website....wow....great knives and great history! I love all your videos...so much to see and to learn!!! Keep it up !

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@jppapy4781]

very nice video and beautiful French knife. A beautiful French product to know .. congratulations to cutler "THE CAMARGUAIS"

[@Sandstroem82]

Great review! I'm going to buy one of these and a Laguiole on our weekend trip to Paris next week.

[@MrThundermountainman]

Well done. Loved watching him 'make' the knife. You have a nice touch with your videos. Thanks.

[@matthias66]

Once again, an excellent knife review! I was impressed by the presentation demo/cutting demo, even before the knife review began. The light relaxing piano music, combined with the background with the French flag, grapes, tomatoes, and baguettes, created a mood of elegance and nostalgia for the knife review. It is obvious that you take great pride in your knife reviews, and it shows in your presentation. Great job, keep up the good work! :)

[@jongmans38]

Thank you for bringing these beautiful knifes to our attention in such a glorious splendid way.

[@GolgothaBlack]

Another fine video. I do believe that I could watch you reviewing an apple and find it just as pleasing.

[@boogerwhopper]

Thank you for sharing a look at this beautiful knife Stefan. Also for being kind enough to show us this nice dvd! Franz

[@tobyzieglerrr]

Best knive reviews on the web, simply stunning!

[@vandal1905]

Another lovely video. Thank you.

[@Tjolbi]

Another great review Stefan, thank you for adding some footage from the documentary as well. There is always a lot to learn from those kind of workshop videos and this one was very well put together it seems.

[@TheFlyrodder68]

Always look forward to your review. You're the best. You also make me very hungry. Thumbs up!

[@TheFlyrodder68]

Should there be some kind of annual award for best youtube contributor? A category for best gear reviewer because Stefan would definitely be a favorite. Stefan's work is art in itself. Your work is very much appreciated Stefan, just sincerely want you to know that.

[@frankieshankly703]

Nice video. Great product, I will buy this !

[@RDPproject]

I love these knives. I just stopped the video and had a look at their website. Some great prices on most of them and some are expensive (once converted to aussie $ ) They are also Australian Legal. No one handed opening. I loved this video Stefan. Thank you so much for putting all this together. Rob

[@boogerwhopper]

Such a beautiful song! Great talent there...

[@BilletMignon]

Watching you prepare food at the beginning of every video makes me feel bad about all the junk I consume. Great video, you're one of the more professional knife reviewers on KZbin. :)

[@stephan123321]

Habe mir gerade noch das eingebaute Video angesehen.Leider habe ich nichts verstanden,obwohl deutlich wurde,das er die einzelnen Arbeitsschritte beschreibt...und deren eventuelle Schwierigkeiten......unglaublich wie viel Handarbeit in diesem Messer steckt!

[@BardofCornwall]

Vraiment interressant! Merci d'avoir partager avec nous, Stefan.

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Thank you very much for your kind words! Hearing this from a Frenchman means a lot to me. What kind of knives do you make?

[@DESERTDIPL0MAT]

As always, beautiful, informative, and entertaining. Thanks for another great vid.

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Thank you for your very kind comment!

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Please note that traditional French folding knives are mostly used for food and not for heavy cutting tasks. Also, you need to press down the outer end of the exposed back spring in order to disengage the lock which is not that easy to do with your palm as it might look.

[@fmc6338]

The classiest blade reviews on youtube

[@elbowroomtube]

What a beautiful knife. And a very informative and enjoyable review AS ALWAYS! Thanks

[@Andi1878]

Another beauty, this knife... Hatte ich mich gerade auf "Le Compagnon" festgelegt (zumindest mit dem Herzen), kommt jetzt dieses wunderschöne Stück über meinen Bildschirm geflimmert. Ach was! Ich kaufe mir einfach eine Salami und schlafe noch mal drüber! ;-) Vielen Dank, Stefan!^^

[@ivanstojanovskichann]

And again, an excellent video.

[@d3pHc0n]

I assumed these knives had MUCH less hand-work. Thanks for entertaining and educating me, Stefan.

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

You are welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

[@FenrisRising]

Stefan... You have style!

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Thank you! Your kind words are greatly appreciated.

[@Gonzo3780]

Just curious how many knifes you have Stefan? You have one heck of a collection thats for sure...How about a quick video showing all of them, you have alot of nice pieces...That would be much appreciated...

[@pmewUK]

Impeccable as always Stefan. Well done.

[@welshknifenutx2]

nice review stefan. it's cool to see how they make the knife it make me appreciate the work that went into making it.

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Thank you! Your kind words are greatly appreciated as well! ;-)

[@Optionsaregood]

A beautiful knife and another excellent review, thanks Stefan.

[@a053303]

your reviews make me hungry, great knives, great reviews!

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Thank you! I'm glad I'm able to entertain you in my own little way. ;-)

[@alexlafourcade5412]

What a beautiful knife, i'm proud to be french here !

[@stephan123321]

Teil 2 Das Messer kommt durch seine doch vorhandene,elegante Erscheinung gar nicht so daher....aber es ist ja ein überaus stabiler "Arbeiter! Das Holz & das Symbol....beides gefällt mir sehr an diesem Messer! Daumen hoch Video...danke für deine Arbeit! Hau rein & beste Grüße, Stephan

[@cmonsterz]

Great video, Stefan! Thanks for introducing us to this fascinating knife company!

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Yes, people keep bugging me to show my entire collection. However, I can't do a "quick video" because there are so many knives. I can' t promise to do an overview video any time soon because I prefer to do videos on new knives first.

[@Bear5177]

What a beautiful knife! Great video! Informative and entertaining. Thank you for sharing this! :)

[@KennethKramm]

Beautiful blade! Excellent video Stefan. ...Ken

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Thank you!

[@antikoerper256]

Splendid review as always sir, enjoying the aesthetics immensely.

[@antiacus]

Wow, your videos just keep getting better and better. I'm afraid some production company will steal you away from us. Stunning knife!

[@AussieMark909]

A very interesting knife. The exposed back spring looks somewhat odd and almost spoils the lines of the design. However it gives the knife a look all it's own and is a point of difference to other traditional French folders. Thanks for another wonderful video Stefan.

[@hammondhar]

Exceptional presentation, as always, Stefan. Thanks for sharing their video, too. I see on their website they offer a model avec un tire bouchon aussi et seulement €66 -- pas mal.

[@modernprepperboy]

Where can one buy this knife in America? I really like it

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Vielen Dank, Markus! - Schön, dass Du der etwas versteckten Video-Anmerkung Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt hast. Ich habe es durch Zufall herausgefunden, weil ich dem guten Mann eine E-Mail schicken wollte und bei der Recherche auf einen Nachruf seiner Uni gestoßén bin.

[@MrJimbofox]

All friendly ribbing aside -- smashing job, my good friend. Amazing that there are this many knives in the world that I knew nothing about prior to watching your vids.

[@entrepreneurhomeboy]

You made me hungry at the beginning of this video. Great video. Stunning knife. I was really enjoying the making of the knife too, but the video ended. I still hear audio though. Wish I knew French. Sure wish I could see him finish making this masterpiece!!!

[@larrymondello7467]

Nice Review! Thanks

[@Waldhandwerk]

Super Messer und Video, wie immer Stefan! Danke für die Vorstellung. LG Sepp

[@thebusinessend1]

love your videos my friend. Nice job.

[@WolfmanNJ]

Great video as usual. Question: with the lock release always sticking up won't it release under normal cutting?

[@nihontoman]

That edge seems very fine. have you measured it? is it any different in terms of cutting through material compared to the opinel?

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Thank you for noticing the details (including the French flag)! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

[@TestBlade1]

Великолепное видео ))) Сразу кушать захотелось...)))

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Hast Du meine Video-Anmerkung zu der Musik gelesen? "delightful peppery smell" - ein sehr angenehmer Pfeffergeruch

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Thanks for watching!

[@kenmoore3384]

Your reviews are excellent. .. I am in buying mode.. Do you or other viewers have a recommendation for the best place to purchase some of these wonderful knives?. I in Northern CA.. Great bonus material.. thanks..

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

This particular knife is only available from the website in the description and from a few online retailers in France.

[@bonesjones1658]

I always love your videos and feel you have good taste. With this one though, wont gripping the knife tightly loosen the lock? If so, to me thats absolute rubbish

[@Grummash]

...and the Oscar for best knife review film goes to... Herr Doktor Schmalhaus :-)

[@esrahansenoutdoorsandselfr563]

really like this style of intro

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Dallmayr?

[@stephan123321]

Die Videoanmerkung hatte ich nicht gelesen...habe es gerade nachgeholt.Ich meinte mit meiner Anmerkung,daß ich nicht auf die Kaffeewerbung komme! ;-)

[@stephan123321]

*Schmunzel*...die Musik hat mich ein wenig an eine Kaffee-Werbung erinnert...zumindest wenn sie zart ausklingt ab 0:18...aber ich komme nicht mehr drauf. Faith-Hope-Charity...wenn ein Symbol für solche "Werte" steht,kann es nur positiv für den Träger des Messers sein! :-) Welchen Geruch haben die Juniper Griffschalen...ich habe das leider nicht verstanden.Der überstehende Lockback ist Geschmackssache...aber mal was anderes,von daher völlig okay! Ende 1

[@Gustavo70-c2r]

Maravilhoso. Sonho de qualquer pessoa que tem bom gosto .

[@MrJimbofox]

Do you hear atmospheric piano music and automatically start slicing up Hors d'oeuvre every time you bust out a knife? Man that would be something to witness. I think you would be the equivalent of the "most interesting man in the world" (Dos Equis beer commercial in America) when it comes to blades. "Stefan's small talk....has altered foreign policy." and "Bigfoot takes photographs of Stefan." :)

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

As I mentioned in the video, you can only order them directly in France.

[@assassin616]

Along with wanting a new knife, everytime I watch one of your videos with food in it, I end up starving.

[@survivalbushcraftfan]

Man stefan,der anfang .........da bekommt man echt hunger,aber so sieht es samstags immer aus in frankreich vor den supermärkten,meist deutsche touries machen dann mahlzeit vor den supermärkten.Ich wohn ja gerade ne minute von frankreich entfernt:)Aber die benutzen nicht so schöne messer:)Lg beni

[@glencashmore9100]

It's a beautiful knife and 12C27, if heat-treated well, isn't too poor a blade material. The exposed locking arm in a knife like this is something peculiar but perhaps acceptable, but I cannot understand a design in which so much cutting edge is lost to the disproportionate ricasso. Looks are important but so is function.

[@silverseto1158]

What is that sausage that you're always cutting?

[@Brasileiro222]

Salami

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

LOL Actually, those food prep scenes look more enjoyable than they really are. I have to plan the different shots and camera angles, I have to arrange the props, I have to set up the lighting, the camera, the table dolly, etc.

[@tetsubo57]

Why is that guy not wearing safety glasses?

[@goutteagoutte7796]

Hello Stefan, A new french knife... again !! the Camargeais is one of the "french regional knife" there is at least one knife per region. This one is not my favorite even if pretty good looking specially in your video. Great job again !

[@nihontoman]

"both cut well" - that's all I want to know really :) thanks for your reply.

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Unfortunately, the composer died very young (see video descriptioni).

[@Dracomidori]

Pourquoi le ressort est-il à ce point ressorti?

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

It's a design feature.

[@Dracomidori]

@@StefanSchmalhaus merci!

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

I guess one day there will be as many regional French knives as there are regional cheeses. ;-)

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

LOL Danke, Beni, für diesen heiteren Blick auf die deutsche Touristen(un)kultur.

[@Ambrucor]

Damn these videos make me hungry ^^

[@arkon6084]

On les appelle aussi les manadiers (les gardians de Camargue))

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Merci de me le faire savoir!

[@survivalbushcraftfan]

meist sind es ältere und größere gruppen die kaufen dann baguette,käse in zig varianten,so salamie wie du zeigst ,stilles wasser und rotwein und dann ist der kofferraum offen und alle feschparn wie man hier sagt also essen:)

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

No, I haven't. Both cut well. Personally, I consider it pointless to examine the micro-differences between a 2 mm and a 3 mm blade. I'm more into the cultural side of knives. ;-)

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Thank you! Am I supposed to deliver a speech now? ;-)

[@dany-xc8jc]

I have this knife

[@stephan123321]

Habe mir Dallmayr gerade angehört...nee,die ist es nicht...die ist ja extrem aufdringlich....hier bei der Musik von F.Brauer weht ja ein leichter Hauch...ab und zu ein Sonnenstrahl...und viel Tiefe.......dagegen wirkt die Dallmayr Melodie wie ein Faustschlag ins Gesicht! *Lach* ;-) Wenn es mir wieder einfallen sollte,sage ich bescheid...vielleicht war es auch eine Whisky Werbung! ;-)

[@stoneblue1795]

Nice knife as always. Sad that the young craftsman was working with no EYE PROTECTION.

[@StefanSchmalhaus]

Ja, es ist ganz robust gebaut, doch zum Aufhebeln von Farbeimern würde ich es trotzdem nicht verwenden. ;-)
