Cute toys from China.

A mini-Laguiole, Made in PRC (People's Republic of China). For the price you can not of course expect top quality, but the workmanship is very neat. Whether the blade really consists of a 440 stainless steel, I can not see without metallurgical testing. But the steel seems to be useful. The cut of the cutting edge is at times somewhat rough and uneven. The angle of the cut is on each page differently so that is not the cutting center. The focus is rather mediocre. The spring holds the blade firmly and hardly seems to be more decorative. All metal surfaces feel somewhat dull and are quite dull in appearance, so do not be polished to a shine.

Why do I still give it 4 stars?
Because the quality in relation to price is still above average. This knife is not a toy, you can actually use. Who drags his own knife, this knife can miss a very good sharpness. Blades game is scarce. Material transitions are only minimally noticeable. The components are fixed to each other, because nothing wobbles.
