Baladeo His & Hers Laguiole Knife Set (For Women)

I was very suprised at the nice fit and finish. I have French made Laguiole Knives that aren't as nice. These Baladeo won't disappoint anyone except Laguiole collectors that demand perfection made in France. These don't have the refinement of the hand made knives but are still nice.

Very nice quality. Not quite as refined in the fit and finish as a genuine hand made french knife. Good example of Laguiole style knives but not something a knife collector would want. Needs a good cleaning to remove buffing compound.

This is an attractive set that has good, not exceptional craftsmanship. The blade's edge touches up easily. The cork screw is quite short. It opened several bottles of wine just fine although, I can't help but think that eventually you may pull out half a cork. The blades do not lock open but, it takes a firm effort to close them. The larger knife has a substantial feel, the smaller knife makes a fine pocket knife.

Nice looking product, but blade difficult to open and close, very stiff - now I can see why it was on a steep discount.

The 2.5 inch "hers" is more appropriate for a pocket knifeThe 4 inch "his" is more for outdoor/hunting purposes. Not good for pockets b/c of the corkscrew.Display case is pretty as well.Buy only if 70+% off. Paid [$].[...]decent product for the price. Looking forward to buying an authentic French handmade laguiole from Fontenille Pataud someday.Those who want the ladder, I suggest you go French not "French-inspired Chinese."Product might need sharpening out of the box.
