By RFO from Cinti, OH on 08/17/2008 Best Uses: At The Bar, In The Kitchen, Wine Bottles Describe Yourself: Practical Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I previously rated this sommelier's tool. I purchased it under the assumption that it was made in France, where real Laguiole is made. Since then I learned it was made [...] I am not sure how Baladeo can use the Laguiole name. Anyway, since I had not used it, I returned it. I don't know about you, but I would rather buy something genuine, especially when I am paying "genuine prices". I've recently noticed that Sierra Trading Post has wisely added the country of origin to the listings for this and other Baladeo products.
Better than same brand w/ olive handle By RFO from Cinti, OH on 07/01/2008 Pros: Durable Materials, Easy to Use, Good quality Best Uses: At The Bar, In The Kitchen, Wine Bottles Describe Yourself: Bargain Hunter, Practical Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I purchased the Baladeo with the olive wood handle. The quality was so bad that I returned it. This one is significantly better. The corkscrew seems sturdier, the knife & lifter have proper drag. Much better. By the way, the "famous fly" is not a fly. It's a bee. Napoleon used the bee as his personal symbol, denoting industriousness. Laguiole designs adopted the Napoleon bee.
