Hi dear Yann!

I received my package yesterday, but I saw it only today. Oh my god, I am so happy. My initials in Hebrew look great with the guilloche pattern. It is a real piece of art.

I am very pleased. It was worth waiting for my knife for so long. You guys are the best!

Now I am looking at your regional knives.

Thank you very much!

Merci beaucoup pour votre travail.

Dear Yann,

Together with you, we created a beautiful corkscrew for our son Pierre. He and his wife really appreciated the gift.

Due to his busy work schedule, we were unable to get a photo taken in time. We finally managed to do that this week.

Look in the attachments. You can use them as you want. Thank you again for your efforts. We may visit your wonderful company again.

With kind regards

Yann,

Thank you very much for an amazing corkscrew. I was expecting a blue mammoth molar but I'm not complaining at all. Very happy.

I will treasure it.

Coming to Paris in May with my sister for 7 days. Just to have the pressed duck at Tour d'Argent and see the Paris sites.

You be blest. Can't wait to open a bottle with this corkscrew on Sunday. Definitely a bottle of Grivot Les Beaux Mont Vosne Romannee from Burgundy.

Feels very special in the hand. Superb craftsmanship.

Respectfully

Hi Yann,

Thank you so much, what a beautiful knife!

Proudly I can say, it is now the no1 in my collection, amazing stag horn.

I would like to participate your knife maker workshop with a friend, maybe in May/ June.

Would it be possible to choose a different scale material than the proposed wooden ones?

Yann,

Thank you so much for a very great knife. It's superb. I'm very proud of it. Especially the needles.

You were very smart to put the information on your Laguiole Magnum in the box. I will order one of these next with the mammoth molar tooth. Soon.

I wish you a very Merry Christmas and the Happiest New Year. Love France and praying for your country because it has the best food, the best wine and the very best knives and especially the best people!

Take care and thank you again. Thank the knife maker Alexis. Great workmanship.

Dear Yann,

I have just received the order a while ago this morning. It is a nice piece of work!

I pay a lot of attention to fit and finish and it is a joy to use and look at.

For example I can highlight the beautiful proportions of the design, the lock back adjustement, which is perfect (it locks in perfectly with zero play), and the nice grinding of the blade, with that sweet spot of being strong enough to be versatile, while very the well executed progressive grind makes it pointy and thin enough to slice really good.

Best regards.

Handmade, what a pleasure to have a hand made knife.

Dear Yann,

The blade shape of the London is terrific and very useful. A working knife. The Breton sailors were not wrong. After all, they are cousins of my celtic Cornish ancestors

Dear Yann,

The St Martin knife arrived a few days ago and I have had it with me since its arrival. I appreciate the attention to fit and finish—it is beautifully made as well as solid and capable. I expect to use it for years.

Merci beaucoup!

Dear Yann,

The steak knives arrived and they are absolutely beautiful.

Just wanted to say thank you again for your help when deciding on my purchase. They turned out better than I could have hoped, and were such a special gift for my parents.

Can’t wait to order some for myself!

All the best,
