Product Description
Laguiole (pronounced "lie-yole"), a small French mountain town about 350 miles south of Paris, is famous for its cattle, cheese and cutlery. The original Laguiole knife was made by iron smiths in 1829 as a farmer's tool. One legend about the knife's origin claims that a village innkeeper's son invented the knife's folding mechanism that later replacedthe capuchadou, a little folding dagger that herdsmen carried in their pockets or wore on their belts. This tool was later refined and became a defining part of the Laguiole steak knife that is used in many Frenchrestaurants today. This set of Steak Knives is made with as much care and dedication as those made a century ago. Made of stainless steel, the knives come in a box for storing.
Amazon.com Review
Inspired by a celebrated French design, the six 4-1/2 inch knives in this set cut steaks, chops, and roasts into bite-size pieces while imparting a hint of ornate chateau manners and crystal chandeliers. The knives have stainless-steel blades and accents on handles clad in wenge wood, a beautiful, dark gray, dense wood from central Africa prized for carving. The design was inspired by the celebrated Laguiole knife, which originated in 1829 in a French mountain village of the same name. Farmers folded the knives into their pockets. Today, Laguiole knives are made in Thiers, the French cutlery center, according to the original design. Elongated pistol-grip handles are secured by three rivets and decorated with a tiny stainless-steel bee, homage to the bee on Napoleon I's Imperial emblem. The blades' fine serrations tend to tear rather than slice precisely through steak fibers. The knives come in a wood tray for safe storage on the counter or in a drawer. --Fred Brack

unlike the set from last year that was great!!... these have a cheap feel and a thiner and bendable blade they do not even carry the Laguiole name on the blade now. not worth the money. came in a broken box that was pieces of two or three others that would not fit together. a pure waste

I found the steak knives to be a very poor example of Laguiole.
The price ... was very fair, and did not expect the quality to match knives from the Laguiole region much more expensive. But these were very light weight, and the blades of
no better than promotional steak knives on TV
