Hello Yann,01/30/2023
Bonjour,01/29/2023
Thought you'd like to know: I had some friends staying over. This morning at breakfast I put my ebony L'Anto on the cheese board. My friend's wife who doesn't care for pocket knives saw it and went: "Oh honey look at this, isn't it beautiful? The color, the rivets..." She made her husband take a picture for reference so that she can order one.01/21/2023

Hello Yann,12/01/2022
Received it today, many thanks.11/29/2022
I received my Le Chamois knife today. It is very beautiful. I love the beautiful guiochhe on the spine and the ram's horn scales are very nice. I also enjoyed receiving a card signed by the cutler, an artist really, which is great. I have been collecting Fontenille Pataud knives for years now and wouldn't part with any of them. Thank you,11/28/2022
Hi Yann. I just got them back. They’re perfect now, thank you very much!11/28/2022
Dear Yann,11/26/2022
When you buy a new knife from most knife makers, opening the package can be anticlimactic.10/26/2022
Hello, I received the knife yesterday (pretty quick with La Poste isn't it) and it is perfect. Thank you and the people at Fontenille Pataud very much for making such great knives; merci a vous!10/14/2022
I have to thank Yann and Alexis for the beautiful Aurillac knife in cattle horn I received yesterday. As I have come to learn, Fontenille Pataud make knives like no other cutlers in the world. My Aurillac regional knife was outstanding: fit and finish exceeded that of any knife I own from other makers. The caramel, chocolate and sweet cream-colored horn handles are exquisite! I look forward to touring the workshop one day to see where the magic happens.10/07/2022
Hi.09/30/2022
I really want to thank Yann and the team for their outstanding customer service, and incomparable talent and skill. My 12cm Laguiole Nature in Hybrid Juniper arrived yesterday. It took just six days to to travel all the way from Thiers, France to New Mexico, USA! The knife is absolutely breathtaking in its workmanship and beauty. I have probably owned more than 100 pocket knives over the years. None of them come close to this knife. It is simply magnificent! Fontenille Pataud are the best cutlers in the world.09/27/2022

Dear Cécile and Yann, thanks again!07/22/2022
Hello Yann, The knives have arrived, I wanted to thank you again that everything went so well. Both knives look very good, two little works of art. I'm already annoyed that I didn't dare to take both knives in blue poplar wood, it really looks fantastic. :-) Many thanks also to Sylvain for the good realisation of the guillochage...and the great little decorated mouche. Great craftsmanship, I will certainly buy another knife from you. Best regards to the whole team from Germany Tobi L. (Germany)07/22/2022

Good day to all,05/28/2022
Dear Yann, first of all I do hope you, your family and your team are doing good! It is a late reply from me, but still all the while I felt I want to write a few lines to you and never managed to do so. My last order, my second knife from you, had a special intention as my wife was pregnant and I wanted to have a kind of family knife with our family name Palm which one day I can pass on to our daughter and I chose a Laguiole for this. When the knife received I was very excited as you did already such an amazing job with my first one, the L’Antò and fulfilled all my expectations by far. But still this one was something different to me. And when I finally was able to hold it in my hand for the first time, I was speechless. It is not only a beauty itself, it is built so perfectly well and again you exactly realised my idea of what I had in mind. It really touched me a lot and still does every time I take it out and use it. On 4th of December 2021 our daughter Letizia was born, the bright light of our life. And quickly six months have passed by now. I can’t wait for the first time I can give it to her hand, hold her hand and let her cut an apple with it and convey her what this knife means. Again I wanna thank you and your team very much for the exceptional work you did! I appreciate it a lot. I already have an idea for my next Fontenille Pataud and will come back to you soon :) All the best for Coutellia! Best05/17/2022
Dear all that helped creating the beautiful Capuchadou I received this morning. The guillochage is outstanding. I cannot wait to show the knife to my grandsons and tell them about the ancient mammoth molars. My wife was so sweet to give it to me for my 65th birthday. Ik ben heel gelukkig met dit prachtige mes. Met vriendelijke groet / Regards,05/25/2022
Muchas gracias señores, acabo de recibir mia bella cuchilla más temprano hoy. Estoy encantada con ella. Saludos05/17/2022

Good day Yann, I received my knife today and it is stunning! I love the dark ram handle - better than the photo on your site. The knife maker did a great job and should be commended. Can I leave you a review? Not sure how to do it. Thanks so much. This knife was worth the wait. Regards,05/13/2022
Caro Yann, é arrivato oggi il bellissimo Thiers nature con aiguilles. Come gli altri tre coltelli acquistati in precedenza, anche il nuovo arrivato brilla per la cura di ogni dettaglio; l’artista che l’ha realizzato merita tutti i nostri complimenti. Arrivederci al prossimo acquisto!05/04/2022
