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 their rosewood handles. Their 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

 Warning! Not real Laguiloe that you know and love! November 30, 2005
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I knew better than to order a set at this price, but hey... you never know. Now I do. I thought perhaps the first price was reflective of the sets quality--boy was I wrong. This set would never sell for 60 some dollars. Although the knives are useable (hence the 2 stars) they are NOT of good quality. The box is very flimsy and I wouldn't give this as a gift. If you want a knock-off go to TJMaxx or someplace and see these kind of knives for yourself before you buy. I'm going to save for some real Laguiole knives!
 Decent set for the right price. January 16, 2004

This set of knives is beautifull. They are sturdy and very well made. The price is well worth the product and I think it's a great value for the money. Let's face it most of the time you get what you pay for, These on the other hand defy that logic not by alot but defy it none the less. I would encourage anyone looking for a decent set of steak knives and arent willing to pay the big $$$, to pick these up. You won't be dissappointed.

These are cheap knock-offs, feather light and a sad misrepresentation of the fine Lagioule name. Buy anything else, because you won't like these ratty little cheapos.
Usable.......... July 11, 2003

A cheap imitation of the originals from France but they are useful. The wood handle and the shape is good looking. The originals are three times the price of these. I would buy another set or different types in this line because if you loose or brake one it is no big deal.........
"laguiole" steak knives June 28, 2003

The finish was atrocious; the handles were finished very irregularly, and the steel of the blades was badly scuffed. The little wooden rays were a joke. The worst part was that I ordered them for a gift, ... I still had to scramble to find a gift.
