Are these genuine Lauiole brand knives or is Jean Dubost Laguiole brand different from the original?

These are genuine, made in the Laguiole area of France, known for their knives. We have two sets of these knives and have been very happy with them. Exquisitely made.

Yes, also they are like no other steak knife we have had, They cut through meat like it is butter and are absolutely gorgeous in appeal..

There is no "original." The name Laguiole, and its representative decorative features, is legally used by a number of different manufacturers both in France and elsewhere in the world. Quality ranges from beautifully hand-made to terribly mass-produced, with everything in between. If you are thinking of any specific manufacturer, you must look for those specific knives. These are certainly not the same knives that legitimately sell for $300 per set or more in France, though some retailers may deceitfully mark up the price of these, or similar, knives to take advantage of their customers' ignorance.

Jean Dubost is the son of the original Laguiole knife maker. His signature appears on the flatware and kitchen knife collections of Laguiole knives. It is genuine Laguiole.

I ordered these -use them and like the knives. however when I was in Paris in September, I made sure to visit the actual store and was educated that they are a knock off. the actual knives are really exquisite and priced accordingly!

No, these are Laguiole STYLE so I returned them as soon as I bought them. Some things ARE too good to be true.

the packaging is long gone and I don't have any indication on the knife itself except www.cuisinox.com. I am, however, quite happy with the knives. They go in the dishwasher and do not stain or rust. They are nice and sharp, and also they are wide enough for spreading butter if you want to use them as an every day knife.

Mine was the real deal. Arrived quickly and sharp as a razor. Hope this helps.

Yes they are not the real Henckels, I only use one knife to cut tomatoes. If you never had really good ones, you may like this, I will not pay more than 30 dollars for the whole sett, you do get a good block.

I don't know if they are real. I just took a chance, given the price. I have been meaning to take one to a local gun show to see if one of theknifemakers there can show me what to look for.

Hi, the knives are as described and pictured. They are very sturdy and the knives are a sleek design with the blade and handle flowing into one unit without an annoying wooden handle like other knives. They are very sharp and we really put them to the test with this past Thanksgiving holiday and they sliced and diced through everything with ease! My husband is still 100% satisfied with the knives and says this is his best gift by far. Hope this helps with your decision!

While I am surprised there are still originals available, I do believe the Gerber Command II's from the Amazon site are real. These knives were very expensive when first released. For this reason and possibly others such as a recovering economy, poor marketing strategy, or who knows why, they obviously didn't sell very well. What I do know for sure is that my knife is the real deal. And it was bought recently from this Amazon site. Once again, this is one awesome knife. Your're not going to find this knife for some ridiculously low price. And if you do it will be fake. Like the ones for $55.55 on some Chinese site with over 5,000 in stock. If it sounds to good to be true, well you know the rest.

I would be very cautious about buying any USA mfg knife like the Manix2 that was being shipped from a seller in China given the track record of Chinese made forgeries. I am not saying that it will be a definite counterfeit, but chances are very high that it will be fake.

I own this knife and it is a 1211 model, but really they look exactly the same and seem to have the same specs.

The F1 that I own and purchased through Amazon matches the fallkniven site, with a much smaller logo, and nearer the handle than the one pictured here. Also has an exposed tang. This does not appear to be an accurate picture.

Hi, while I am no expert in detecting knockoff's these seem very legit to me, main reason being the quality. Have had the first set for over 18 months & they are still extremely sharp and look great. On the other hand some Chinese knifes from Target that we had lost their sharpness in 6 months.

Sorry - there is not any imprint on the actual knives and I no longer have the packaging. I can confirm that I'm completely happy with the knives.

G.M.: I'm very sorry, but I have misled you. The Port Meirion knives are serrated, just the tiniest bit. I was using my memory to answer you earlier. I was sure I was right. But at dinner, I noticed the tiny serrations--just enough to make the knives effective; no aesthetic or discomfort problems--and I wanted to correct my error as soon as possible. Again, my apologies.

The one I received is in fact a genuine spyderco product. It is not a factory second or anything like that.

Yes, it is the same knife..... if you look further down the page, it has the description "Limited Edition". Not too unusual to find duplicates on Amazon for different prices. I've even sent emails to them about duplicate items, but usually nothing is done. Plus Buck uses the term "Limited Edition" pretty loosely. Doesn't mean much unless they specify that only a fixed number will be made.

The one you will receive will look exactly like the website. When I ordered mine I noticed the same thing, but the knife I received is exactly like the pictures on the SOG website.
