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

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

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 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

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!

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

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.

The site's ergon could be improved, and especially if the knives for sale are already produced, it should be possible to see them once the material has been chosen, to appreciate the darker or lighter shades of the horn or the hues and grain of the wood.

Site a bit confusing, especially on the final price, it seemed at one point that you had to pay more but in the end you didn't. It's a shame. It's a shame, but I hope it didn't discourage anyone from completing their order, because the products are magnificent.

The kit was given to me as a gift. The instructions are very inadequate; I had to go on the Internet to get a demonstration of how to prepare and assemble it. The piece of wood supplied for the handle is too fragile and split; I replaced it with marine plywood. Too bad!
Translated reviews
Response from Coutellerie de Laguiole Honoré Durand
Hello Mr. Biermann, Thank you for your feedback; perhaps you didn't read the instructions we supply with our kits correctly, or even in full: we'd be happy to e-mail you more detailed assembly instructions.
As for the handle splitting, it's quite surprising (as the wood is quite soft) and the first time we've had this feedback from a customer; perhaps you didn't use the right drilling diameter in relation to the diameter of the handle fixing screws... I remain at your entire disposal, Yours faithfully

a more precise quality control is needed: hello,<br />After purchasing a knife from the prestige range, on receipt I noticed a defect that doesn't go unnoticed.so after an exchange of emails, the knife was exchanged and the shipping costs refunded. To sum up, the after-sales service is good, but a more thorough quality control is needed. It's a pity, because the knife is of good quality.<br />Greetings

improvement following a product sale: I bought a product from the prestige range for a purchase of over 150 €.<br />I received the product ordered without having signed for the parcel on arrival (yet it was marked sending the parcel by colissimo with signature).<br />Similarly, a few days after my purchase, I also received an advertisement by e-mail announcing that for the purchase of a product of the brand of more than 80 €, a knife case was offered free of charge.<br />I find it a great pity for the consumer that I am not to be warned at the time of my initial order of this potential gift (especially as I had made an order of more than 150 €! ).<br />Cordially.

Rather disappointed... The knife itself is beautiful. Dark horn, forged bee stainless steel bolsters. But my eye was quickly drawn to an anomaly that seems to have escaped quality control.<br />The tip of the blade, is either badly forged, or badly ground when sharpened. This makes it look like it's been used as a lever...(I know this isn't the case)<br />It's a present for my son's 18th birthday. I'm not going to return it as we live in Quebec and delivery has already cost enough.<br />But for my other sons, I'll look elsewhere.

Knife presentation disappointment: Very satisfied with the speed with which the order was processed.<br />Very nice knife.<br />Very satisfied with the telephone reception and the information given<br />but although it had been planned to deliver the knife in a box and the possibility of having a free case with the Christmas offer, the knife was delivered in a case (basic) and for a prestige knife it was not adapted, lacking elegance.<br />Hence our disappointment (me the children who offered the knife to their father). Too bad.<br />Cordially.

Knife Kit - Blade misaligned with handle: To correct the misalignment, the blade and spring (thickness) need to be ground <br />An "unguilloched spring" option would be interesting, as this part can easily be worked on with a file.

Very poor quality: the bolsters are welded any way they can be, there's a 5/10 gap between the bolster and the lock. The top of the blade is rough, as is the spring.<br />Even a laguiole made in china is better finished.<br />Buying in kit form should not be synonymous with buying M...E in kit form!!!
