The German translation is sometimes unusual, especially during the ordering process.

The "Laguiole" folding knives offered by Honoré Durand are of excellent quality, the choice is wide and everyone will find THE knife of their choice (a "must have"). The site is pleasant and well illustrated, however the navigation seems to me could be improved, especially in the case of an optional choice when ordering. I also appreciated the related aspects around the Laguiole (historical, regional, use, ...).
Best regards JC./.

Hello Mr Larzilliere, Thank you for your review and rating; a terse and not really detailed review ... and without having contacted our customer service department to see the problem(s) and the solution we could have provided; please do not hesitate to contact us on [email protected] (with photos, thank you) or by phone (05.65.51.50.14) so that we can look into it together. We want our customers to be completely satisfied. I remain at your entire disposal. Honoré Durand

First of all, I must congratulate you on the packaging of the order which was particularly well cared for and totally protected the parcel. The set of knives is really what I wanted. On the other hand, I am a little disappointed by the box containing the knives, the finish of the wood is not very noble. For the next order I hope to have a more polished box. Yours faithfully, Christine Laloyer.

Response from Coutellerie de Laguiole Honoré Durand
Hello Mrs Laloyer, Thank you for your review and your rating; we have taken your comment into account and we are aware of it. These boxes are made locally (i.e. in France) and it's not easy to find quality boxes "made in France" at a reasonable and acceptable price. But we're working on it, and in a few months we should have a new box model to offer. I wish you all the best for the future and thank you for your loyalty. Honoré Durand

to choose the right model of knife. I'm disappointed with the size. Can I change? I haven't used this material yet. I'd like a shorter, lighter knife. Thank you for your reply. Roger Herrera

I find it a little disappointing for a company such as LAGUIOLE HONORÉ DURANT, not to have a well-made knife for everyday use for a price of around 130 euros (I bought a knife with a slight defect, a poorly-fitting bolster and a few traces of dirt on the handle), which begs the question: what's the point of buying a knife from certain professional cutlers when a chinoiserie can do the job for everyday use? I'm not a knife collector, I own a few dozen knives, I like a job well done, I have a few knives by Jean Michel CAYRON (Damascus blade), DOMINIQUE BIONDI etc ... Sincerely, M LIGORI

Response from Coutellerie de Laguiole Honoré Durand
Hello Mr Ligori, Thank you for your opinion and rating; I'm sorry about the quality problems; could you please get back to me by e-mail around [email protected] and send me some photos of the knife and the problems ("slight play defect" and "ill-fitting bolster"); as for the dirt on the handle, all our knives are meticulously hand-wiped, with our apologies for the inconvenience. I wish you a good day and remain at your entire disposal. Sincerely Honoré Durand

Very nice knife, despite a few flaws on the fly, for example, which are certainly due to the fact that it had to be produced a little too quickly. Apart from a few finishing errors, the product is nevertheless of very good quality!

My companion is happy with his knife. The only negative point is that the carbon blade (steel in fact) rusts, and I didn't know that. It's not clearly indicated on the site. Had I known, I would have ordered a stainless steel blade for 7€ more. As a result, he can't use it for every meal. It's a shame.

THE OPENING AND CLOSING OF THE KNIFE ARE EXCESSIVELY HARD..DESPITE THE FACT THAT I TRIED TO OIL THE AXLE..I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED

Response from Coutellerie de Laguiole Honoré Durand
Hello Mr Romero, Thank you for your review and rating. Please contact us ([email protected] or 05.65.51.50.14) so that we can look into the problem and find a solution for you. We try to find a happy medium of hardness, so that the knife can't close inadvertently, but can also close easily when you want to do so. Please note that the 11 cm model is the hardest, the firmest spring in our range. Please do not hesitate to contact me. Honoré Durand

The translation program from French into German should be revised... that made the order a bit tedious.

Nice site with enough information to make you want more; the German translation, however, is catastrophic in places and testifies to the use of foreign-language translation programs and a blatant lack of editing by German native speakers

Fast service, even if the order confirmation e-mail doesn't arrive the same day, which can be a bit worrying given the risks inherent in electronic transactions today. Once payment has been made, it would be nice to have an e-mail confirmation the same day that everything has gone smoothly.

To say that you can have your order delivered by chronopost the next day before 1pm, at €26.10 for postage, and to have it arrive two days later is very disappointing! All because it takes you 1.5 days to get to the post office... Give your customers the right information! This is unacceptable!
Translated reviews
Response from Coutellerie de Laguiole Honoré Durand
Mr Joubert, I would like to thank you for your opinion and rating; as I explained to you during our various email exchanges well before your opinion and rating, you placed the order at 11.01 am; the Post Office leaves our house, which is in the countryside, at 2.50 pm.
It is clearly and explicitly indicated that "if you have a precise date to respect, we advise you to take an additional margin of 1 day and to indicate it to us either by e-mail ([email protected]) or at the time of the order (box "Comments")" which you did not do. The parcel left the day after you placed your order. This is why your request for reimbursement of the full Chronopost cost was refused, quite rightly I believe. I remain at your entire disposal, Sincerely Honoré DURAND

Beautiful, high-quality product. However, I would only give 4 stars because the photos show a finish that is superior and therefore more flattering than the product received.

the rendering of handle materials (wood and other) is not sufficiently precise (magnifying glass effect). Apart from these minor issues, all's well!

Hello to date I have not received my order. .. I am dissatisfied with colissimo too expensive and sometimes in does not warn of their passage. I prefer relay koala or other ... This is the last time I order from you .... and this is my 3rd order.

Response from Coutellerie de Laguiole Honoré Durand
Hello Mr REMY, Thank you for your rating and for your message of dissatisfaction; recriminations directed more towards the Postal service than towards us. We take good note of it, but it's a shame to blame us for the poor quality of the Post Office's service. For our part, you ordered on 13/12 at 10H44, the parcel left the next day Thursday 14/12; I think that our service in relation to your order was exemplary. I've just seen that the parcel will be delivered to you today. Finally, please note that we also offer Chronopost on our website, but also that we are in the countryside and that Koala-like services are non-existent for the collection of our parcels. I wish you good reception and a happy holiday season.

I was very satisfied. The item corresponds exactly to the description and was delivered quickly. For German customers, however, there is the difficulty that not all texts and communication are translated into German. This could be improved.
