Testimonials
06/02/2012 Dear Gilles,
today arrived my new Laguiole ( small locking blade XS 9 ) and I must say, I am deeply impressed by the look and the quality of this outstanding knife. It is a small masterpiece which is on the one hand very extraordinary but on the other hand also absolutely suitable as a real pocket knife for all purposes. In the meantime I have bought several knives from you, each one unique because all of them handcrafted what you can see and feel, and this gives each of them a precious touch.
All the best for you and your company !
Jens
25/01/2012 Dear Ms. Beata Steinberg,
I would like to confirm that the knife had arrived today. Thank you very much for the great service! I am very pleasantly surprised with the quality of the knife and the craftsmanship of your knifemakers. It is getting more and more difficult to find such fine and quality products as your knifes. Keep up the great job.
With best regards from Canada,
Mac Dziewulski
24/01/2012 The Laguiole Pocket arrived yesterday and all I can say it exceeds my expectations 300%! The file work is amazing, the finishing, and how it feels in the hand! Excellent!

Thank you very much for your time, you have been a pleasure to do business with,

Bonjour Gilles
Finally the two Laguioles arrived; both are extremely beautiful. The damascus blade combined with the blue mammoth ivory handle looks great, flawless and elegant, I've never seen such a knife. I am glad with the choices I've made. The other one with the ivory handle is also such a piece of art.
Thank you Gilles for your personal advice and support during all selection the process.
Keep up with your great work and company

Bonjour Gilles,
The 12cm 'picnic' knife with guillochage was delivered to me yesterday. The action is very smooth, the filework and finish is excellent and the Thuya burl is most attractive. The carrying pouch with the miniature steel was definitely 'the cherry on the top of the cake'. Congratulations for the excellent craftsmanship all round, and many thanks to you and your team for great work and service.
Best wishes,
Jeremy Grest

08/12/2011 Bonjour, I have received my knives, and I am very pleased. They are wonderfully made, and should make my father, and my father in law, thrilled when they get them at Christmas. I'll be back soon to have one or more made for myself! Regards..........Todd Shireman
22/11/2011 Bonjour Gilles,
The knife arrived safely today, thank you. I am very pleased with it. The XS 9cm is really an outstanding little Laguiole, and perfect for me to carry in my pocket. It is beautiful to look at and very well proportioned. The guillochage on the spring is really well executed, and on the blade back it is suitably subtle. (A small detail: the head of the bee had a very slight sharp edge to the touch, which I have smoothed to my own satisfaction with fine water paper.) The polished Amboine burl has a beautiful pattern and the handle fits flawlessly to the frame. The action is very precise and works smoothly. I would like to thank and congratulate the team that made this exceptional little knife.
UPS managed the customs clearance and door-to-door delivery very professionally and in record time. All in all, a very good experience from start to finish, with excellent service on your side. I am glad that I was able to talk to you about your initial problem with the card, and deal with it by phoning my bank Once that was sorted out there were no more problems.
Please feel free to post my comments on your Website. Thank you once again.
With my good wishes,
Jeremy Grest

14/11/2011 I have received my knife today and am very happy with the quality of the workmanship. It lives up to the standard that was promised and exceeds expectations. The photos showed a beautiful knife, but it can only be fully appreciated once held and used. I hope to have this knife for life.

11/10/2011 Bonjour Gilles,
My new knife--a one-hand Guilloche--arrived a few moments ago, and I must say, it is a thing of beauty. The juniper burl not only looks great, it smells wonderful, like a morning walk in the mountains, and the "intricate" bee is an especially nice touch. Thanks for the suggestion. Congratulations to you and your staff on your continued excellent craftsmanship. I plan on returning with another order as soon as I can come up with a worthy recipient.
Best regards,

Today my 3th knife arrived. Thanks a lot! I'm excited! The quality is great. I love it very much! There is no play in the blade, the RWL34 steel is very sharp, blade perfectly, the handle wood is excellent and the finish is great ! I hope you can still produce many of knives like this.

29/06/2011 Dear Gilles,
I am very pleased with my new knife. It is a work af art, as well as being a useful tool. It was a difficult decision, with so many options available, but I eventually chose a 11cm Amboina burl, Guilloche, with Damascus blade.
It is now a constant companion ! I may well be back!

18/06/2011 Dear Gilles,
17/06/2011 Hi
13/06/2011 vielen Dank für ein so tolles Messer!! Die Lieferung ist unversehrt angekommen.
31/05/2011 Da ich mich nicht entscheiden konnte, habe ich mir gleich drei Messer bestellt: Sport, Sperone und Roquefort. Wie versprochen waren die Messer innerhalb von ca. einer Woche da. Eines schöner und besser als das andere! Kein Vergleich zu industriell gefertigter Massenware. Jedem Einzelstück sieht man an, dass es wirklich von Hand und mit Hingabe gefertigt wurde. Alle diese Messer haben ihren ganz speziellen Reiz und sind sehr hochwertig verarbeitet!
23/05/2011 Hello

19/05/2011 Hi Gilles,
PS : And I forgot to say that the engraving on the back of the knife is beautifully done.
18/05/2011 Gilles, I have received my order today and would like to thank you and your team for producing such beautiful knives, I know my nephews will be delighted to receive them. To me, the quality and finish of these knives epitomises the meaning of craftsmanship - To strive for perfection in every aspect of your work -
17/05/2011 Dear Mr. Steinberg,
The knife I ordered arrived today—right on time. It is a beautiful piece of work, and the fragrance of the juniper is a nice bonus. I wish I could keep it for myself, but, alas, it’s a gift. But this is one gift that I won’t have to wonder whether I made the right choice. Some day soon I will be contacting you about another order—this time for myself.
Best regards,
Russell Metz
06/05/2011 Thank you very much, I have received the cheese and butter set and I am very happy. Your product is very fine and beautifully detailed.
18/04/2011 Gilles,
Hello again from Kansas City. The knife you and your team made for me arrived Friday, and I must say that I am absolutely thrilled with it. Everythign arrived as promised and in perfect condition. I own two other Laguiole knives - one from L'Artisan and another from Laguiole Aubrac. I am very happy with both of them, but this knife you and your team created for me is in a different class. The action is every bit as smooth as you claimed, in fact I am pretty astonished at just how smoothly the knife opens and closes. The blade locks with a satisfying click, but releases easily and smoothly. Lastly, the fabulous custom engraving work on the spring is simply the icing on the cake - it's an instant heirloom. I am very glad that I took your advice and went with the Nature series.
Please accept my thanks, and also please pass along to your team that I am very impressed with their work. I will recommend Fontenille-Pataud to anyone.

Dear Sirs,
for my birthday my wife presented to me the corsican sperone with walnut handle from your manufacture. For this knife I also want to thank you. I own already a "few" different knifes and when I have the wish to get another one she asks very gentle: do you need it, for what?
Let's explain: My knifes are all special and fit all my different purpuses. They are all in the range up to 100€.
I have already 2 knifes of French origin from the town Thiers (The place to visit for a all men with the need of special knifes - traveling with family it is advisable for this men to have a long and good entertainment program for them :-). All this knifes from Thiers glance by their handcraftship and simplicity - perfect, but not machine perfect, is what I discovered. Not machinemade which can be everywhere - mostly in Asia.
And than I came over your Corsican Sperone. Wow! It is even better than I expected from the internet information. Handcrafted with great precision. The feeling it is lying in the hand, the blade is opening and closing so smoothly and its sharpness.
Of course it was a little more expensive than my other knifes. But now I have my little Rolls Roys of knifes I am very proud for. My problem now is to use this Rolls Roys as tool a knife is usualy made for (a French knifemaker said when I showed him my 2 year old knife: it's like new; Not only by good care ;-).
And now this beauty of Corsican Sperone. Many words I wrote about it now, but I think there are not enough words and there is not enough space here.
If you like you can publish this with the hint for all knifeseeking men: Thiers is just a MUST for those like me.
Sorry about my english but my french from school is even worse.
Thank you very much and all the best to you
Merci beaucoup et bientemps
Yours
Christoph from Koeln/Cologne
01/03/2011 The knife arrived yesterday and I spent last evening admiring the workmanship. Extremely well done. I own quite a number of blades, both fixed and folding, ranging from stock production knives to those of one single maker. Your knife will surely be one of the most treasured. I am looking forward to seeing how the rwl34 steel performs and how it sharpens.
Best regards,
Don Ruthven, Houston TX
24/02/2011 Hi Gilles,
Yesterday, the Corsican Sperone knife was delivered. It's a very nice one and I am convinced my husband will be delighted when his birthday comes.
Thanks again and most certainly Chris will buy another knife from Fontenille-Pataud.

Bonjour Gilles,
I am writing to say that I am delighted with the knife. It is, of course, a beautiful work of art. It is also a very versatile and practical tool. It performs its tasks very well. This is the third knife of yours that I have owned. The first was a gift from a friend in Paris. The knife had been recommended to her by a man whose job was leading horseback trips in remote locations around the world. He always carried one of your knives on his journeys and said they were the “best in the world.” Sadly, my first knife was stolen from me. When that happened, I ordered a new one from you a few years ago and have been equally happy with it. Then more recently, when I realized you also made a heavier hunting knife, I ordered one of those too – my “MDM knife.”
Many people have asked me about these knives and I always tell them that they are the best folding knives in the world.
I am a happy customer.
Best regards from America,
Michael

I want to thank you again for quick and uncomplicated delivery, and I want to address my special thanks to you and your team. Your knives are pieces of art, precise, durable and a joy to use. My family and friends are impressed by your work - those who know about craftmanship and those who just feel it alike. Please keep up your stunning work! Sincerely, Christian Zeman Vienna, Austria

Dear Gilles and his team of artisans,
There are no words that can speak bright enough to say what was going through me when I saw the first glimpse of my knife. The first five minutes I did not say a word. Such beauty and elegance combined with robust shapes. And everything made by hand, that I really love. Fontenille Pataud has made me the best of knife and I hope my knife will help me cut for a lot of years to come!

18/10/2010 Bonjour Gilles,
The Laguiole and the Yssingeaux knives arrived safely this morning at about 09:15. To say that I am delighted with them would be an understatement! The quality of the fit, finish, filework and materials are all first rate. The cow horn is of a beautiful colour and gradation of tone, while the bone on the Yssingeaux has just the right amount of "grain" to distinguish it from ivory.
The only criticism that I can make is the the blade and the spring on the Yssingeaux are not quite aligned. When sighting along the back of the opened knife, the blade is inclined at a slight angle to the right of the axis of the spring. About 5 degrees I estimate. I have an exceptionally "straight eye", otherwise I would probably not have noticed it. However, I have no intention of returning the knife for this minor fault - no artisan can be perfect, only machines without a soul.
I will, without doubt, be ordering further knives from you when funds permit. Once more, my thanks.
Cordialement,
Peter Bell, UK

I have just picked up the 5 engraved knives from my father's house! They are amazing! I have been showing them to everybody at my work and I am jealous of my groomsmen. I want one for myself and so does my father. I hope that my groomsmen appreciate the beauty of these knives. If they do not I will ask for them back and give them something else instead!
Thank you again for helping me out and providing such swift service. Take Care!

Alles passt, nirgends eine Schwachstelle und überall wunderbar verarbeitet. Es lohnt sich etwas auf diese Arbeit zu warten - insbesondere die Zierschliffe und eingearbeitete Initialen sind eine Augenweide. Schön, daß es noch so perfekte Dinge gibt.

12/11/2009 Hi Gilles,
I received the knife I ordered today.
I have been a knife collector since I was young and earned my first folding pocket knife in the U.S. Boy Scouts 35 years ago which I still have and treasure.All of the pocket knives in my small collection do not come close to the quality of the knife your craftsmen made for me. Not even the 100 year old knife that was left to me by my Grandfather when he passed away due to the unavailability of stainless steel in those days.This vendetta knife is everything I expected and more .I can see and feel the care and expertise that was put into this knife. The way the personalized engraving of my name on the spring is just superb.
I also am very pleased with your quick response to my emails. I definitely plan on saving up enough money to order more of your quality knives.
This knife is simply a work of art. Thanks again Gilles for your great business practice. Please never change it.

I am over the moon! The knife arrived today, Friday, 19 December - what a great gift for the weekend!
I have been pestering the mailman every day this week until he was tired of seeing my face - haha - Gilles, this is such a wonderful piece of work - I could not be any happier.
Thank you!

10/12/2008 "My purchase of a custom-made knife from fontenille-pataud.com was a first class, top shelf, 5-star experience. From the well-illustrated and informative website, to the quick response to my email query, and, within three weeks of placing my order, to the receipt of the expertly crafted, customized knife, the entire purchase experience was flawless.
And the knife: beautiful workmanship, a well balanced instrument of quality components. I'd ordered the knife to include
the custom application of my son's seven-lettered name...the knife, to include his name, is of such superb quality, I'm certain it will be passed on, as a family keepsake, to his son in the decades to come. In an age of cheaply made, mass produced wares it is a joy to own the product of craftsman who take pride in their work and uphold the artisan traditions of a by-gone age. I most highly recommend fontenille-pataud.com."

29/05/2007 Dear M. Steinberg,
I have enjoyed my Gilles-Laguiole ever since I collected it some ten years ago. It has so far never needed resharpening, and the juniper handle still evaporates this unique aroma.
Your products are worth every single "sou".
Thanks again.

15/03/2007 Hello Gilles,
Today I picked up my order from you, and I must say I am very pleased with the result. As I expected the brass gives the knife a warm and more earthy appearance, and the horn is beautifully organic in feel and look. The steel in the blade which you recommended seems very sturdy and certainly allows enough sharpness, I am also very happy that I went ahead with your recommendation towards a less guilloché blade so as to achieve the simplicity I desired. The build is wonderfully solid and precise, I believe this knife is going to become a steady companion to me from now on.
Thank you Gilles for a product that will bring me much joy! As I travel to Provence this summer I will make good use of it servingmyself from the french delicacies.
Best regards
Staffan, Linköping, Sweden

30/12/2006 Hey, Gilles! Wow, 3 cheers for the fine cutlers of F-P! See, I answered my own question about what a knife maker is called, with the help of your brochure or the guarantee certificate. Both of our knives are so beautiful. I love the olive wood, and am glad you didn't convince me to go with a darker wood. I am trying to figure out how to maintain this sharp blade. I also like the smooth action of bruce's locking knife. We spent xmas eve slicing our adults-only dinner into itty bitty pieces with your knives! Thanks for making such a fantastic product! I'm sure you must hear this all the time and you are used to
it by now!
Peace,
Nicole

I have received my order in fine condition, Sirs: I have been collecting knives for more than 40yrs and have always wanted to own a custom made Languiole. It instantly became the pride of my collection. It is the finest pocket knife I have ever owned or seen, craftmanship is extremely precise, action is smooth and silent and fit is perfect. I hope one day to hand it to my son for his and so-on. Please thank all concerned in the manufacture of MY Knife, you have every right to be very proud of your product.
Thank You Sincerely, R Nault

17/12/2004 Gilles,
I received the steak knives today with the black horn handles. You sent both the polished and matte finish blades as agreed. I can say they are both beautiful, but decided I prefer the matte finish as I think maybe they are a little bit more distinctive. Thank you very much for shipping them as promised. I have them in time for Christmas.
I look forward to cutting into thick juicy steaks with your wonderful knives for many years to come!

a quick note -
the 2 knives and corkscrew arrived in NYC today - perfect timing, and they look absolutely beautiful - much nicer in person than in the photos, just as your website said! The sheaths are the best I've seen and the details are splendid! I love the stampings on the blade tangs!!
I am very pleased, and I am very confident my wife will love her two gifts!!
Thanks again for all your help - I will be ordering again in future!
Have a great holiday and a healthy, safe 2005!

22/05/2003 Bonjour Gilles,
Firstly I would like to thank you for the amazing level of service you have shown me. I can't remember a better experience when buying any products, let alone over the internet.
Secondly, now that the cutlery has arrived what can I say - fantastique! The workmanship is faultless and the knives and forks are, as I had hoped, works of art. I think my wife has chosen a particularly fine gift for her 40th birthday. (She doesn't know she's getting the forks so that will be a nicesurprise.)
Lastly, thanks for the mother in law knife. I assume we are supposed to give it to my mother law and not use it on her!
Merci Beaucoup,
Craig Fenemor - Australia

I will not hesitate to order from you in the future and I am also telling my friends who collect knives about your business. In this day and age, it is hard to find reputable dealers who offer outstanding products and service as you do.

17/02/2002 Hi Gilles,
I'm just back from holiday and found your crazy version of a steak knife in my mail :-)
Well, I think it will do the job...probably for the next 150 years or so...looks very durable... thanks again for a nice piece!!!
Unfortunately since my girlfriend is vegetarien, she banned it from the table and it will have to stay with my other knives in the collectors area... so I unfortunately have to use this terrible kitchen knives a little longer...
By the way, last week I met somebody you maybe know... I visited Wolfgang Wojtinowski from Bavaria to have an introduction into knivemaking. He said, he met you a while ago on an exhibition in Nürnberg (?, not sure about the
place). The world is small sometimes...
Best regards to France,
Ralf Fitschen
P.S. As I said a while ago, I wrote a review of the knife and posted it on the forum, I told you. Resonance was very positive so far and I hope that will do something good for your business...
15/02/2002 Dear mr Steinberg,
I liked the knives very well and they completely matched my expectations. A lot of them have been presented to our clients by myself and I can tell you that up until now the reations have been very positive and there is a lot of appreciation for the craftmanship involved. I hope to send a new order somewhere in the near future.
Kind regards,
Bert van de Belt
PS: I also was very charmed by my personal order (even my wife who is not very interested in knives liked it )

I just want to compliment you on the excellent service and product I received from your company. On 11 Jan I
ordered a knife and expected it to take quite sometime to get here (USA). I received the knife this morning, and what a surprise it was, not only the short time it took to get here but the knife itself.
I am an active member of two knife forums on the Internet, www.bladeforums.com and www.knifeforums.com
and I will be spreading a good word about your company and product.
Thanks again,

04/10/2001 Gilles,
I received the knives on Tuesday October 2. So I took only about one week to get here. I find they are beautiful. I especially like the guilloche pattern. The movement of the blade is very smooth and I like the matte finish stainless. I like the width of the handles. The width combined with the slim profile from top to bottom and the gentle curve of the handle make it a very
graceful knife that feels so perfect to hold. Some I have seen are not quite as wide. I will visit your site in the future to see if you have anything new. The scorpion shape is also appealing. I have looked at the corsican knives also, but will probably wait until I have actually visited Corsica.
Keep up the good work.
Dennis Chamberlain
28/07/2001 Dear Gilles:
I received the knife just yesterday, and wanted to let you know how pleased I am. I am very impressed with your workmanship - it is the finest quality, and sharp as a razor.
I will probably order more as Christmas presents to some business colleagues, so I'll write again around October.
have a good summer

I received the olive-wood yssingeaux knife and the two sheaths that I ordered from you, thanks. The knife is beautiful.

Thanks again-

Thank you for the prompt response. The knife arrived today, and I am delighted. The fact that this knife was shipped directly to me from France is especially important to me. I work in the wine trade, and sell some wonderful French wines--in fact, these are the wines that make me proud to sell wines at all (Chinon, Bourgueil, Cheverny, Quincy, Savennieres, Cassis,
Bandol, Rasteau, Gigondas, Morgon, Fleurie, Moulin-a-Vent, Cahors,Irouleguy, Jurancon, etc.--Vive la France!!).

All I can say is that this knife leaves me speechless! From the incredible figure of the olive wood, to the overall fit and finish of the blade, this knife truly is amazing. The customer service of your company is second to none, and you have again gained yourself a very satisfied customer.
Thank you very much for your time, you have been a pleasure to do business with,
Samuel McCullough
PS : Gilles, one more thing. Please pass on my gratitude to whomever put the edge on my blade, it is absolutely amazing !
