Best knife reviewer on the web. Nice to see someone who is passionate about the history and workmanship. It becomes tiresome having to search through knife videos of wannabe commandos. Well done and please keep up the good work.
I prefer this blade shape, which I think of as spear point, not drop point. I have a Yssinngeaux knife by Laguiole en Aubrac that has the same size and style of blade. Very functional and elegant. Thank you for your videos, they are always enlightening.
Thanks for showing the knife cutting something. Your commentary is VERY informative (don't stop) and adds to the experience. Your command of the language is impressive. You have sparked my interest in European cutlery.
Well researched and thought out as always Stefan. I'm amazed that different regions and towns can produce two knives so different yet with so many similarities and equally good quality. Thanks for this glimpse into French cutlery history!
Great video and very beautiful knife. While I like the elegance of the sauvaterre I like the chambriard more:-) Thanks for continuing to introduce these beautiful knives to me.
What a pretty knife, so elegant and just minimalist enough. Most of all, unlike many other French blades this one is not covered in logos, texts, etchings etc. Just the makers mark, very classy. Not as sophisticated as a Laguiole? Maybe. But in my eyes, it's much less messy than a Laguiole. Taste, as they say, must be subjective ^^ Excellet work herr Doktor.
I consider Chambriard's "Le Compagnon" an excellent "entry-level" French knife. They are around 80 to 90 EUR, you can get them here in Germany at Schneidwarenkontor.
Thanks for another great review, Stefan. I must say that I'm drawn more to the clean lines of this one and the le Thiers more than the Laguiole. Still, I do hope to get a specimen of each some day.
;__; beautiful. I like those French knives more and more the more you show us them Stefan. Can you recommend a smaller (also not too expensive) knife for French knife "beginners"? I'd like to have one. If possible with wooden handle scales.
Do these knives have a stop pin to keep the blade from hitting the back spring when it's being closed, or does it need to be closed gently so not to damage the blades edge? Thanks.
Oh, come on, this is a fine knife that is supposed to be used at the table or at a picnic. Of course, it can cut boxes but I would never use it for this purpose. If you want to see me cutting boxes watch my video on the Müller Linerlock MSP. ;-)
Wonderful review. I've now watched about 30 of them. It's great when you compare the different knives (E.G. at 3:03). You also have a very unique accent. German, I assume, but you also seem to know the southern french. Can you do an American accent? ;) Great job. It would be nice to know where these knives can be purchased, especially for us folks in the USA.
It depends on where you live. There are online stores in France and Germany that sell this knife. I believe Couteaux Berthier even ships internationally.

Thank you! A spear point blade is just a symmetrical drop point blade. 😉
Beautiful Knife!

Thank you, Herr Feldwebel!
Thanks for sharing such great looking rather obscure knives.
Very smooth looking knife. Thanks for showing it.

Beautiful knife I will see if I can buy one if they ship to USA?, The French make many nice knives Thank you for showing them or we would not know.
The overall shape of this knife reminds me quite a bit of Le 5 Coqs by Fontenille Pataud
Very nice folders , love to see a Bark River knife review with your style.
I like the other two, they are very ..decorative..but this would be my everyday pick I think, I love its simplicity, looks just perfect!

Thanks, Mark! I'm looking forward to your seventh Case Canoe knife. LOL
No, not now. I might do a review on the 12 x 5 bottle holder later this year.
"this knife is not meant to be use for... stabbing people, so don't expect any features..." LOL !!
Linder Iltis. It's not neccesarily cheap but this is a very high quality knife. It's a good way to get started too.
Ja. Deutsch ist meine Muttersprache. (You can tell by my accent, can't you?)
Thanks for watching!
All major French online knife retailers sell this knife (Courty & Fils, Berthier, Sabatier-K, etc.).
What would you like to see?
Cool knife! Do you have any maxpedition reviews coming up?

The Sauveterre doesn't come with a stop pin.
Are the washers teflon?

thanks for this review it will help increasing the image of the "MADE IN FRANCE" ;-)
Lovely knife! I think I have to investigate the smaller versions you mentioned. Where did you buy the knife?
;-)
cant seem to find this one on line

Thanks for watching!
