Some time ago I posted a photo onto my wall at Face Book.
It was a picture of one of my Snow goose spoons.
My French friend Magali saw the photo and wrote a comment saying how much she loved it.
I thought it would be nice if I sent one over too her.
Well, this I did.
She received the spoon a short time after I posted it, good old Royal mail and La Post.
Sometime later....... I received a parcel from Magali.....
I thought perhaps some of you guys may like to have a look at what she sent.
These knives are hand made by Magali and her husband Didier.
Here is a piece from her web site where you'll find some stunning work...
Ten years ago I began creating luxury Laguiole knives. Of late my
husband Didier Roques has joined me in this fantastic venture. He is a
great addition, having a background in precision engineering and
pattern work. I have also had the privilege to work with Cathy
Capelle, an important name in french cutlery. We work with pure
respect for tradition and quality materials.
All our work is handwork, guilloche, infiles, hand crafted hilts in
precious ebony, boxwood root, silver and soon dinosaur gem-bone. I am
a sculptor and working in the lost wax technique,create small parts in
precious metals, that are worked into the body of our Laguiole knives.
Heads of boar and deer, dragonflies, bees and flowers, things of
nature and the wood.
Swing past my blog for her contact details.
I'll certainly be using this knife daily at my kitchen table...
