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.

^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…
