Jean Dubost Laguiole Knives with Olive Wood Handles, Set of 6

these knives are not original Laguiole products nor they come from the region in France. They are copies made in Pakistan and the set I received were badly made. The wooden box was broken; the laguiole symbol came of one of the knives upon arrival and the handles and blades were not made on precision. They are an example of very poor craftsmanship. The seller should be honest about this product and where it is made. I hope they find a better supplier, one that takes pride on their work and that is actually located in France.

I purchased my Jean Dubost Olive Wood handle steak knife set elsewhere, but I'm writing this review to warn others away from this overpriced, low quality representation of a true Laguiole product and brand. I would not buy any Jean Dubost product as they have cut corners everywhere making this an inferior product;

These knives are NOT forged, but instead are cheap stamped stainless steel of claimed 18/8 quality but are thin and the blades flex easily.

The olive wood used is of lower grade younger sources as it does not exhibit the kind of grain character and quality typically associated with better source olive wood.

Though this has a full tang, the construction is simple and does not follow the more authentic practice of a more substantial forged hand-chiseled spring.

The blade edges are not honed and exhibit spurs and chips in the set I purchased

The finish while highly polished does not appear as it will hold up well and my set was leaving black greasy like marks on the drying towel after cleaning by hand.

I have no proof that these knives were not made in France as the "certified" label states, but the construction quality suggests otherwise.

Fair warning you will find Wine Enthusiast and Willams-Sonoma selling this product as well. You would think they should know better. If this set of knives was priced at $99 or less and you only wanted the look of a real Laguiole product and were OK with the mediocre quality I'd say go for it. But at this price point these Jean Dubost knives are a rip off.

If you want more background on true quality Laguiole knives the Laguiole Imports website can be very helpful. They have a guidelines page that I wish I found before purchasing this horrible product.
