French Home Laguiole 4-Piece Steak Knife Set – Sophisticated Stainless Steel Dinner Knives with Black Handles & Iconic Bee Emblem – Serrated Knives for Smooth Cutting (9.25")

I've owned and given these over the years. They are a great quality and have different regrets but they have increased in price sigdifficultly from when I first found them at TJ Maxx. They keep their sharpness and are a much appreciated gift.

We seen these knives at a steakhouse and immediately needed them. We love them so much, perfect addition to your dinnerware.

we love these. We have had this style before. I love the colors.

UPDATE:I ended up keeping these knives, and after more than six months of use, I am upgrading them to four stars, with one caveat-- they definitely should not go in the dishwasher, not even without soap and note even on cold water only. I wash them only by hand and never soak the wood handles in water.That said, they work well and are nice looking and haven't developed any rust spots.ORIGINAL REVIEW:I wanted so badly to love these knives, and I haven't used them yet because I may return them.Things I don't care about (but you might):--- They are made in China, not France--- The bee looks flatter & more machined than other languiole bees I've seen--- The knives are very light weightThings I like:--- The wood handles are attractive & not too bulky--- The blades are serrated--- They are, overall, an attractive setThings I dislike:--- The blades & metal rivets are all scraped up and nicked as badly as other knives I've owned & used for years--- The combination of the scrapes, nicks, and the way the bee looks make me think these are absolutely machine-made and not hand-madeOverall, I paid $37 for four, and had I seen these knives fist, I'm not sure if I would have paid $10 a piece for them. It seems like I could find a set of 6, handmade, or at least made in France, for roughly the same price. Whether those listings are fraudulent, I'm not sure, but a reviewer on another listing said they found a set of 8 like these, made in China, for ~ $40. So the question is, are these marked up unreasonably? Or are they better quality than those other listings?

Bought these to go with the vintage silverware set I purchased and it's a perfect match! The design is very nice as well.

Wont cut hot butter. Maybe a bad set but do not cut well at all. Love the look and design, will return and try a different brand.

Color is off. “Neutral Tone” doesn’t look like in the picture it’s a pearly greyish white

I had an issue with the item, contacted the seller and they were responsive and prompt. TY
