Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This carving set was inspired by the celebrated Laguiole knife, a folding pocket knife which originated in 1829 in a French mountain village of the same name. Today, Laguiole knives are made in Thiers, the French cutlery center, according to the original design--except they don't fold. With blade and head made of high-carbon stainless steel, the 6-1/2-inch knife and 5-1/2-inch fork in this set also have stainless-steel handles. Otherwise, each handle is the original design: elongated, pistol-grip style secured by three rivets and decorated with a tiny stainless-steel bee, homage to a bee on Napoleon I's Imperial emblem, which was awarded for bravery. The knife and fork come in a wood tray for safe storage on the counter or in a drawer. The tray measures 12 inches long and 3 inches wide. --Fred Brack

1.0 out of 5 stars Among the worst I've seen, November 12, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Sabatier Laguiole 2-Piece Stainless-Steel Carving Set in Wood Box (Kitchen)

It looks nice in the package, but is a real example of "you get what you pay for." The sides of the handles are full of rough edges indicating a cheap manufacture. The fork is thin and weak and will bend with any weight at all. To make matters even worse, the knife in my order arrrived with a big chunk taken out of the blade, making it wholly useless. Fit for the trash.
