I hear this often.

You may be amused to learn that "©Laguiole Pakistan" has been registered by...Laguiole.
As you (probably don't) know, Pakistan is the first producer of Laguiole knives (in numbers). A lot are sold in France on local markets, fairs, etc.
All imports must (theoretically) show the origin, so any Lags with an origin that is not "France" will be counterfeit (please call me if you see one stamped "Galapagos" ).

I still chuckle when I look at my laguiole that proudly proclaims its origin in Thiers.

And another one from "Brun à Laguiole", scales are made from "piquet d'Aubrac" wood from old fenceposts from Aubrac grasslands. The post used for this knife was made from chestnut.

That is some of the most impressive filework and sculpting I've ever seen on a Laguiole

Interesting.
We get a lot of Pakistan made knives, listed on ebay here in Australia.

How do you like the back lock on it? I'm mulling over the carbon version.

It locks up solid with a bit of side-to-side play, and like most French knives it will smack the edge if you let it snap closed...but overall I really like it!

Another 13 cm Laguiole, this one from the "Coutellerie Glandières - Pagès" in Laguiole. The knife was made by Serge Cécon, Robert Cécon's son.

Impressive giant! Really like the central band effect and the working on the metal, creates a very effective aesthetic. It also involves considerable skill I'd say.

Thanks, Will
