Baladeo Laguiole Corkscrew Knife by Bala By monkey drunk from new orleans on 09/05/2009 Pros: Durable, Opens Smoothly, Sharp Blade Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: good product although a little large
By BargainBeast from Upstate New York on 08/04/2009 Pros: Comfortable Grip, Opens Smoothly, Sharp Blade Best Uses: Camping, Picnicking Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Heavy duty and well made. All you need for a picnic. The lock works fine but is not a release - manual release is clumsy and slightly dangerous as your thumb or finger is in the way of the blade closing. Otherwise a handsome and well designed knife.
By STW from Rocky Mountains on 06/06/2009 Pros: Comfortable Grip, Durable, Opens Smoothly, Sharp Blade Cons: Brass fittings protrude, Opens too easily Best Uses: Camping, Fixing lunch on the train, Home, TRAVEL Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Happy that STP made these larger Laguiole knives available. Bought a slimmer smaller one in Provence for my wife but did not like the feel of it in my larger hand. This one has the elegance and nice touches (scalloping, bee decoration) of the traditional Laguiole but in a small hunter size.
Smooth operation without notchiness, surprising for a steel bolster knife without brass linings. May open too easily, however. Can open in halfway just by a sharp downward motion in the hand. Blade has no play when locked open--unlocking is smooth too.
Very nice wood and lovely brass pins that a slightly prickly from being a little higher than the wood surface. Wood must have dried since manufacture. This is not as bad as some Laguiole knives I've handled, and seems to have smoothed a bit with handling.
Corkscrew works and is reasonably solidly mounted--not too much movement. Surprisingly comfortable in the hand despite palm pressure on the screw. The cork screw is handy on trains and prevents the disaster of a yurt or alpine hut with a bottle of red but no way to open it. But the corkscrew also transforms this fairly long bladed knife from something that looks like a weapon into a friendly food tool. Likely to get a kind eye from train conductors who'd frown at other knives.
