These are great knives.

By Trisha from Grand Rapids, MI on 8/27/2008

Pros:

Attractive Design, Durable, Easy To Clean, Easy to sharpen, Easy to Use, Ergonomic

Describe Yourself:

Frequent Entertainer, Stylish

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I cook dinner almost everyday and entertain frequently. In fact I bought these knives for a dinner party I hosted years ago and it was one of the best purchases I've made. We use these knives 3-4 times a week and they still look like new. They are easy to sharpen if you need to. I use a little hand held sharpening tool I bought at a hardware to run across the blade as I do all of my knives. I think you'll really like these knives and they will fit your budget. I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on a set of knives.

I almost question whether this is a real Laguiole product. I have other Laguiole products; folding knife, cork screw, etc.

These steak knives do not come close to the quality of my other Laguiole products.

Even though they were not as heavy as I thought they would be, they cut and look perfect. I can't imagine setting the table without them. Worth twice as much as they cost!
