Recently I bought Laguiole knife, simple one, and since I bought it in some ordinary shop I realy dont know if is it the original one.
Can somebody tell from the pictures if this knife is original.

Thank you all

Laguiole is a style of knife, legitimately made by several French companies. Similar knives are made in other countries, usually at much lower standards. Yours does not look like a good French Laguiole. For one thing, the "bee" or "fly" is clumsily done. I've never seen one as part of a block of metal like that. Also, even the simple bees show more detail than that.

Normally they do not have the word "Rostfrei" on the blades,
"Rostfrei" is German for "Stainless" which seems very strange if it would be on a French knife.

Thank you for respond. My guess was also that knife is not original. Anyway I send zoom of back side.
