 A great addition to any steak-lover's kitchen Nov 09, 2008
By James Beswick
"In my day, we had 9 planets."
The build quality of these knives is significantly better than I expected, and the decorative detail is a good contemporary touch. The supplied wooden box provides an easy way to store these when not in use, and they appear to be dishwasher safe. Compared with knives at twice the price in specialty kitchen stores, these represent excellent value for money.

 Laguiole Steak Knives Jun 24, 2010
By Dale Lynn Davis
Very good quality and very sharp.The price through Amazon was much less than the major cooking store was charging. Good value for the money. The only negative is that they are not as heavy as I expected and the wooden box they come in is more for putting them away in a drawer than keeping them out as a display item.

 Be Careful We were shipped 2 sets of Barenthal not Jean DuBost Dec 14, 2011
By Chris Saunders
Have to say I was very disappointed. We ordered a set of stainless knives (Value99 fulfilled by Amazon)that were labeled as Jean Dubost Laguiole Steak Knives. When they arrived they were quite different from the online picture. We were unhappy, but assumed we'd made an error in ordering. So bought a different set (black rather than stainless handles)that was very clearly marked Jean Dubost Laguiole. Again we were shipped a set of BARENTHAL not Jean Dubost.
Since we'd been extremely careful to inspect all the website photos and documentation before ordering the 2nd set, we knew there was a problem with Value99/Amazon. We checked and found an adhesive sticker w/bar code that identified the item as Jean Dubost when it was in fact Barenthal.
Clearly the item is not Jean Dubost. I can't speculate as to why the wrong item was shipped. The sticker could have been a simple mistake or it could have been a management decision to cut costs (if they can buy the Barenthal cheaper) and/or a substitution done when Jean DuBost was out of stock. Regardless of why it happened -TWICE its totally UNSATISFACTORY.
Amazon has really disappointed me after many years of exceeding all expectations.
We will be returning both sets, which are being given as gifts. Really happy we ordered them shipped to our home rather than direct shipped the person receiving the gift. We would probably never have discovered the problem and my sister would have felt slighted for years to come and I wouldn't know why.
Very cheap knockoffs sent in place Dec 22, 2011
By Kaya SF
Laguiole definitely has a branding problem. Apparently some company, Barenthal, is using the name for products not even worthy of 1980s vintage "made in china" knockoffs. Whoever is sending these out is counting on some real ignorance. I went and saw the DuBost knives in person today and they're decent knives unlike what you'll receive if you order these. Unfortunately my gift money has been hijacked by the grinch and I can't buy the real deal in time for xmas.
