Anticipation once - it was clear to me that no original from France is to get for the price. I just like the form and have it simply appointed times. Delivered, the "China-Laguiole" in a wooden box with a robust, clean processed leather sheath and sharpening steel. The build quality is very nice, contrary to expectations. No game of the blade, no gaps between wood and metal, clean transitions to the rivets, beautifully polished finish. It was however very dull out of the box, which has a short but Duch sharpening and honing on the leather to Rasierschärfe changed. The steel is probably a 440 A so no super steel, but also not cheap sheet metal. The blade will lose so easily the sharpness, but can also be sharpened quickly. The sharpening steel I can not judge, I will not use it. Conclusion: A pretty, well-made knife that as bread timepiece makes sure good services. Rough work should not be carried out so that one. I give full credit because such a quality I did not expect from a China- knife. I am pleasantly surprised.
