laguiole automatic, a real laguiole ????

Do you consider a laguiole automatic as a real laguiole.

I have never seen an automatic Laguiole. Who makes them?

Laguiole makes them. Korme would one consider a non automatic MT an MT? the French have lots of neat little switchblades just not that widespread over here.Rumor has it that there might be a few on BA to be had.

Strider,

I might be wrong, but I think that Laguiole is not a maker or factory. It is a type of knife, named after a village. There are lots of makers, like:
http://www.fontenille-pataud.com (very nice knives there, damascus, ivory etc.) http://www.maison-du-laguiole.com http://www.layole.com http://www.ckc.fr http://www.laguiole.com

I've seen lots of them (around here they are quite popular), bun none was auto.

I had a Laguiole made for my wife in Languiole France. A Languiole will have the Napolian "BEE" on the end of the spring, it will also have the "shepards cross" pins in the left had scale, and of course the distinctive shape of the blade. All Languiole knives are hand assembled in Languole France. I could be wrong but I don't think that they make auto's...they originally were intended to be a dinner knife that you take with you to a resturant to cut your meat with.
Hope this helps some.
