The Laguiole is indeed substantial, and I love the stainless steel Honoré Durand uses. I think mine is the same as yours except for the wood--I went with olive wood.At first blush, these Laguiole knives appear to be flowing, delicate, knives; however, they are actually very substantial knives. I haven't put this Honoré Durand to work yet but I have no doubt that it will be a capable work knife.

I think my most solidly build traditional knife is my 20 year old En Aubrac. I’ve also worked my Opinel’s harder than any knife bordering on abuse and they’ve held up. It’s hard to get that first ding in a Laguiole but I find once you do it’s liberating hahaha.At first blush, these Laguiole knives appear to be flowing, delicate, knives; however, they are actually very substantial knives.

For legal reasons?I bobbed the nose on one of these to get it down to three inches.
Yes. Last I knew, we had a law against carrying "an iron bar or other dangerous weapon such as a knife with a blade more than three inches long with the unlawful intent of using it against another".For legal reasons?
Can the blade be longer than three inches if there is no "unlawful intent of using it against another"?Yes.

I believe so, but I don't want to go to trial to prove my lack of unlawful intent. I'm probably overly cautious.Can the blade be longer than three inches if there is no "unlawful intent of using it against another"?
Hope the post-surgery cleanup goes well, Ed.I'll be gone next week for some post-surgery clean-up so, I'll leave y'all with this wiz-bang photo to tide you over.
